Coup D’ètat Lyrics by Refused

Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent

1996

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'etat
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...
