Lyrics

Coup D’ètat

Staying up planning the downfall

Of your corrupted system

What plot will I figure out?

What thoughts will I pen down?

I will have my coup d'état

I will start a riot

I will hold your burning flag in my hand

Sitting up all night planning

Revolution with a catchy phrase

Shitty band with an awesome plan

Punk crusade throughout the land

Sick of silence, passive masses

Educate, resist and take control

To live a life in fear of changing

Is to not live at all

I will have my coup d'état

I will start a riot

I'll hold your burning flag

In my hand

I'll watch your empire fall

I'll watch your empire fall

I will watch

Your empire fall

I will not die for you

I will not kill for you

I will not fight for you

I will not die for you

I will not kill for you

I will not fight for you

I will hold your burning flag in my hand

As I watch your empire fall

Because I know it will

Because I know it will

I will have my coup d'état

I will have my coup d'état

I will have my coup d'état

I will have my...
