Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
[Verse 2]
The government gets overthrown
A sudden force, a major stroke
Over out, the new comes in
[Verse 3]
Coup d'état
Give me a bomb
A molotov
It's a coup d'état!
[Verse 4]
The generalissimo sets up shop
Step out of line, your neck's on the block
Armies marching through the streets
Dressed so sharp, dressed real neat
[Verse 5]
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
[Verse 6]
A push from the Left and a shove from the Right
It's all planned up, we'll do it tonight
First the president then his wife
We'll hold 'em for a ransom or take their lives
Attack their embassy
They are our enemies
[Verse 7]
El Presidente smokes cigars
Anyone he does not like
He shoots or put behind bars
[Verse 8]
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
[Verse 9]
Kill 'em all!
