[Chorus]
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown

[Verse 1]
Learn this, Hat Kid
Better run and hide
Tried to steal from the queen
Now you're gonna die
Stick your hand in the jar
You're gonna get fried
'Cause no one gets away
From the Empress tonight

[Verse 2: Brodingles]
No mistakes, time to pay
For your childish greed
This is what you get
When you try to cross me
Looks like there never was
Honor among thieves
This is what you get
For stealing from the queen!
[Chorus]
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown

[Verse 3: Brodingles]
No mistakes, time to pay (You should know)
For your childish greed
This is what you get (Who runs this town)
When you try to cross me
Looks like there never was (It is the Empress)
Honor among thieves
This is what you get (Who wears the crown)
For stealing from the queen!

[Verse 4: Brodingless & EmilyGO VO]
Could have been something more (Gotta run)
Staying at my side (I gotta go)
Take the jewels, like a fool (Ticket's punched)
I take your hide (Ride the metro)
Lazy paws, do your job! (The cat's got)
Now we're out to ride (The claws out)
Show her who makes the trains (Got no time)
Run on time! (Left to pause now)
[Verse 5: Brodingless & EmilyGO VO]
Make an example (Evading)
Of every treachery (Her power)
This is what you get (Running through)
When you try to cross me (Rush hour)
Took a piece of the pie (Now I've done)
For your gluttony (The crime)
But I’ll carve out what’s mine (I'm taking)
No one steals from the queen! (Back my time!)

Let’s do a test, see if you’ve got nine lives
Then take ‘em all, ‘til you’re paying the price
You should have known this wouldn’t be nice
You can’t escape from the Empress Eyes!

[Chorus]
You should know
Who runs this town
It is the Empress
Who wears the crown

[Verse 3: Brodingles]
No mistakes, time to pay (You should know)
For your childish greed
This is what you get (Who runs this town)
When you try to cross me
Looks like there never was (It is the Empress)
Honor among thieves
This is what you get (Who wears the crown)
For stealing from the queen!
[Verse 6: EmilyGO VO]
I’m taking back my time
I’m taking back what’s mine
I’m gonna board the train
I’m hopping down the line
So goodbye, Empress!
I’m reassigned!

[Refrain]
Sound the alarm, nobody gets away!
Empress wants her head on a plate
Put on a bounty, we’d retire in days!
Saddle up, cats, we’re gonna get paid!

[Verse 6: EmilyGO VO & Brodingles]
I’m taking back my time
I’m taking back what’s mine
I’m gonna board the train
I’m hopping down the line
So goodbye, Empress!
I’m reassigned!

I’m taking back my time (Could have been something more)
I’m taking back what’s mine (Staying at my side)
I’m gonna board the train (Take the jewels, like a fool)
I’m hopping down the line (I take your hide)
So goodbye Empress (Lazy paws, do your job)
I’m reassigned (Now we're out to ride)
Show her who makes the trains run on time!

[Verse 7: Brodingles]
When you take from the vault
You will grind to a halt
You will bow and exalt
Or you’ll taste the asphalt

No one challenges the crown
Turn the place upside down
You can’t hide from my eyes
'Cause the cats run the town

When you take from the vault (You should know)
You will grind to a halt
You will bow and exalt (Who runs this town)
Or you’ll taste the asphalt

No one challenges the crown (It is the Empress)
Turn the place upside down
You can’t hide from my eyes (Who wears the crown)
'Cause the cats run the town

[Refrain]
Sound the alarm, nobody gets away!
Empress wants her head on a plate
Put on a bounty, we’d retire in days!
Saddle up, cats, we’re gonna get paid!

[Verse 8: Brodingles]
No mistakes, time to pay for your childish greed
(No mistakes, time to pay for your childish greed)
This is what you get when you try to cross me
(This is what you get when you steal our things)
Looks like there never was honor among thieves
(Looks like there never was honor among thieves)
This is what you get for stealing from the queen!
(This is what you get for stealing from the queen!)

[Verse 9: Brodingles]
Could have been something more (You should know)
Staying at my side
Take the jewels, like a fool (Who runs this town)
I take your hide!
Lazy paws, do your job! (It is the empress)
Now we’re out to ride
Show her who makes the trains (Who wears the crown)
Run on time

[Outro: Brodingless & EmilyGO VO]
Make an example (You should know)

Of every treachery
(I'm taking back what's mine)

Took a piece of the pie (It is the Empress)
