Lyrics
Send him down a side street, take him for a ride. He?ll never know what hit him til he?s on the other side. Could be any moment, could be any town. But that boy is gonna get it, the boy is going down. Daddy promised us Havana so we gave you Illinois. Like we threw you West Virginia, ?cause he said you?d be our boy. Then everything was different, then everything went South. We thought we backed a winner til you punched us in the mouth. So there?s no misunderstanding, no confusion and no doubt. You?re the one who cooked the deal my friend. Now we?re gonna take you out. It?s a coup d?état. And no one?s ever gonna know. Just another coup d?état. Like Diem and Guatamala, Bay of Pigs and then the Shah. Got a little problem. Gonna have a coup d?état. We?ll give the press a patsy, then we?ll blow his ass away. Dead men tell no stories, dead men have no shame. We?ve got friends who have no faces to make this disappear. It?ll be a single bullet no matter what you hear. This ain?t no goddamned movie, this ain?t no freaking game. You?ve been sleeping with the devil. Now you?re gonna feel the pain. It?s a coup d?état. And no one?s ever gonna know. Just another coup d?état. Like Diem and Guatamala, Bay of Pigs and then the Shah. Got a little problem. Gonna have a coup d?état. And no one?s ever gonna know. Just another coup d?état. Like Momo in Chicago, Tommy Brown and Papa Doc. Got a little problem. Gonna have a coup d?état.
