[Verse 1] You’re chewing on the rent again I’m doomscrolling through the “news” You say, “Babe, this whole thing’s broken” I say, “Got a wild idea for you” You grab a pen, draw battle lines All over yesterday’s receipt “Step one, look extremely sexy” “Step two, march on the government seat” (hey!) [Chorus] Baby, let’s stage a coup Just me and you, me and you We’ll fix the mess, then grab some food Democracy, but make it cute Baby, let’s stage a coup Dress code: good hair and good shoes We’ll overthrow this attitude Then dance in the cabinet room [Verse 2] We sneak into their big meeting Armed with snacks and colored charts You filibuster them with flirting I win their hearts with pop-tart art You’re on the mic like, “New proposal More paid naps and longer breaks” I pass a law for puppy wages “The office now adopts all strays” (aw yeah) [Chorus] Baby, let’s stage a coup Just me and you, me and you We’ll sign a bill for three-day weekends Mandatory park barbecues Baby, our little coup Suddenly the sky turns blue We rewrite all the boring rules In glitter pens and comfy shoes [Bridge] [Music drops, bass and claps only] Parliament’s confused, judges in a line You just wink once, everybody sides with us this time We raise our hands “We swear to make this fun” First decree we pass: Free snacks for everyone! (everyone!) [Chorus] Baby, we staged a coup And somehow it all went through Now traffic lights play funky tunes Kids draw murals in the schools Baby, we staged a coup Sunshine on the avenue Rainbows arch from bus to zoo Guess saving the world Was a date night with you [Outro] Guess saving the world Was a date night with you (oh babe) Just signing laws Like a long, long “I do”
