what does "and i’m just a hypocrite who shoulda run for office" mean?
I understand like "i'm just a hypocrite who should work in a office" but it makes no sense.
it's a song and it's part of this paragraph:
"so, where do my nice friends hide?
tried to be cool but I get nervous when I lie
can’t figure out if I’m too dumb for smart or smart
dumb so please just play along or sing along, or do whatever suits you
whistle part.....
and i’m just a hypocrite who shoulda run for office
and I coulda had miss offit when she lived next door to me, i'm asking"

I think you are mixing meanings of the word "office". In the song he is referring to being elected to political office, not a place of business like a shop. The problem with English is that it's homonymic and one word usually has various meanings, some of which are completely different. The word "bat" can be a stick to play baseball or an animal that flies at night. I enjoyed the song; he is singing about playing a game because he can't find himself.

Politicians are so often seen as liars. They say one thing and do another. This is also known as being a hypocrite. The latest example of hypocrite in USA news is a guy named Rush who caused a person for being a whore for needing birth control, yet at the same time having illegal quantities of pills to help is own sex drive... Wow.
To be a hypocrite that should run for office = attempt to be voted in as a Politicians doing what they do- hypocrisy
This is not the same as "I should work in an office." To work in an office is any office job - such as a secretary or a file clerk.
Run and work make these extremely different ideas as you can see.
