Lyrics:

In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blows good songs away
In a world where cheap outrage
And average ideas lead you astray
It’s nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology

In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blows good songs away
In a world where cheap outrage
Average ideas lead you astray
It’s nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology

It’s been real good, it’s the 80’s
And all I’m hearing lately is how marvelous it was in days gone by

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 heart and fame
It's human soul that’s nice to know
And even though my gals don’t claw
It’s nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology

It’s been real good, it’s the 80’s
But all I’m hearing lately is how marvelous it was in days gone by

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

In a world where techno speak and hi-fi
Weekly blows good sounds away
In a world where cheap outrage
Average ideas lead you astray
It’s nice to know, I'm no yo-yo for Mr. Technology
