Coup d'état, coup d'état
Coup d'état
Coup d'état
Coup d'état

The government gets overthrown
A sudden force, a major blow
Over out, the new comes in

Coup d'état
Give me a bomb
A Molotov
It's a coup d'état!

Generalissimo sets up shop
Step out of line
Your neck's on the block
Armies marching through the streets
Dressed so sharp, dressed so neat

Coup d'état
Coup d'état

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 take them for ransom
Or take their lives
Attack their embassy
They are our enemies

El Presidente smokes cigars
Anyone he does not like
He shoots or put behind bars

Coup d'état
Coup d'état

Kill all
