In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blow good songs away.
In a world where cheap outrage and
Average ideas lead you astray.
And it's nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology.
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat
It's been real, but it's the 80's.
And all I'm hearing lately,
Is how marvellous it was in days gone by,
Bye, bye.
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat, coup d'etat
It's nice to know that no techno runs
This here showman's hat and fame.
Human soul it's nice to know and
Even though my gals don't claw.
And it's nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology.
Coup d'etat, coup d'etat
It's been real but it's the 80's,
But all I'm hearing lately,
Is how marvellous it was in days gone by,
Bye bye.
In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blows good sounds away.
In a world where cheap outrage and
Average ideas lead you astray.
And it's nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology.
