Stone Cold Coup D’etat |
| The stars got together and extinguished the moon and sun |
| And they reigned forever in the night sky they had won |
| The words assassinated the book |
| The kitchen cooked and ate the cook |
| Aw yeah, what is that certain je ne sais quoi? |
| Aw yeah, it’s a stone cold coup d'état |
| Stone cold coup d'état |
| Stone cold coup d'état |
| The orchestra conductor has been captured and tried and killed |
| And the viola now occupies the throne that he formerly filled |
| The bark now commands the trees |
| The queen is overruled by the bees |
| Aw yeah, it has a certain je ne sais quoi |
| Aw yeah, it’s a stone cold coup d'état |
| Stone cold coup d'état |
| Stone cold coup d'état |
| But if history is any guide |
| It cannot be understood |
| When you’re not on the winning side |
| Around the dinner table, a family says grace |
| And the son sees the secret signal on his sister’s face |
| Dad smiles at his wife |
| Daughter reaches for the knife |
| Aw yeah, it has that certain je ne sais quoi |
| Autumn leaves will burn (Yeah yeah) |
| As the seasons turn (Yeah yeah) |
| Nature’s red in tooth and in claw |
| Aw yeah, what is that certain je ne se quoi? |
| Aw yeah, it’s a stone cold coup d'état |
| Stone cold coup d'état |
| A stone cold coup d'état |
