LYRICS
Let’s run around
Like we own the town
Let’s make a sound
That’s gonna resound
When the facts are found
In fact, you do
Own this town
In fact, you do
Me, too
We own this town
Feeling under the gun
You don’t have to run
Time you had some fun
We own this town
Me and you
We own this town
We all do
I can see Lenape was here before me
Till we came up with a bogus treaty
No treat for “we”
More like a treat for me
At the cost of society
ABOUT THE SONG
The Lenape Indians lived in their village for thousands of years. Then, William Penn came and named their home Penn’s Woods (Pennsylvania). More European settlers came and took over their village and named the town after the indigenous people they drove out — Lenape, PA.
There are no Lenape left in Lenape. There are no Lenape left in Pennsylvania. There are no Lenepe.
