Lyrics:
The valet pointed me through the door
One more shot and you're on the floor
If cash talks, yours is a lion's roar
Guesquire, Christian Dior
You're the asshole ambassador
But your friends obey like Labradors
I vomited on the alpine décor
It's okay, your daddy gon' buy some more
All your friends from school are here
Your frat boys got the rufies near
What will they want when you're out of beer?
Your parents' cocaine!
Your graduation monster bash
The maids will pick up all the trash
In almost every room is stashed
Your parents' cocaine!
Your daddy gon' make you VP of sales
Don't mix good shit with the ginger ale
Pacific Heights ain't Sunnydale
You could murder somebody and be out on bail
Your mom's Amtrak- she's on the rails
So many bumps thought it was Braille
One day, we're all gonna tip the scales
Cuz me and my crew are too big to fail
Steve and Katie shut the door
And fucked all on the bathroom floor
Now they're up and looking for
Your parents' cocaine!
Until you get that trust fund check
Pretend you worked for your respect
Janie's asking if she can test
Your parents' cocaine!
All your esteemed colleages and guests
Are here to celebrate your success
They only say "Good Luck!" in jest
Your fortune guaranteed at the breast
And Dave, who let's you win at chess
Is with your girlfriend in her dress
They're tired of being your marionettes
You'll mourn in Rio via company jet
Your daddy's got a business plan
Which made wars in Afghanistan
It bought your house in Bangkok and
Your parents' cocaine!
Narcos kicked my windows out
They beat and dragged me out the house
They don't give a fuck about
Your parents' cocaine!

The rich get rehab, the poor get jail.

[@frenchgemini6686]

The poor also get psych wards, where people are forced to consume medications more dangerous than cocaine.

[@SuperNormalMan]

And we all end up as skeletons. All the money and prestige in the world won't do you any good when you're dead.

[@PopPopPopPop]

@@SuperNormalMan exactly why the lyrics in The Guillotine are truer than ever

[@omarjustinsmith2257]

Also, social media

[@SixFilthysFinest]

He was referencing the Sunnydale projects in San Francisco not a TV Show lol. He's talking about the class divide between the really rich (Pacific Heights) and the really broke (Sunnydale) and how things that aren't tolerated for one group of people are tolerated for the other.

[@gatortickles1486]

The reference can also easily apply to how the neogentry operates when they move into a poor area and "improve" it, tho.

[@Cannibusticon]

The Coup and Anti-Flag? That's a dope combination, no pun intended!

[@totesmacgrotes]

They have a track with leftover crack as well

[@crazyymmann1994]

@@totesmacgrotes hahahah

[@DeadRabbit5]

They found a way to even make the Kazoo sound good, mad props

[@StevenChisham]

I'm here because of Eat The Fish Presents! I work for them. I'm the black cop and one of the art directors on this video! I was excited to hear that Boots wanted a bouncing ball, because so did I! I mentioned it to my director Pat Saindon and he said, boots is already on that!

[@joshuahilmer8547]

How have I not heard of these guys till today??

[@artemis_smith]

Because they're anti-capitalist so the machine doesn't promote their message

[@andreagauvin42]

Same here! Better late than never.

[@156mjones]

this is too damn good! The Coup is still the shiiiit! I even chipped in for their tour bus project !

[@BiscuitGod1]

Ah, Kavanaugh and Georgetown Perp.

[@bitchimgayasfuck171]

yup

[@trippdavis8475]

I hate listening to song... Not because I don't love the song, but because I'll still be singing it to myself for the next two days. It's a worse earworm than "Call Me Maybe."

[@carlcardigan6439]

I don't give a fuck about your parent's cocaine.

[@thecosmicblueautie]

If only it were as big, if not a bigger, earworm, though.

[@friggindoc]

The laws on powder cocaine and crack cocaine were ridiculous. Its the same shit!!!

[@JHUMLproductions]

are you joking? crack is way more addictive and way more powerful

[@powertothepeople5628]

Shit so dope. Had to look up Anti-Flag.

[@DiscoAmazing]

The Coup is punk as fuck.

[@buddhafish69]

This is utterly brilliant.

[@anarchonobody]

Boots's and Justin's muppets bear uncanny resemblances... good job

[@ryankosik18]

boots Riley is extremely intelligent. worth a google

[@frenchgemini6686]

He is a genius with a good heart, we definitely need more like him.

[@idadru]

Love the sound on this song... Fucking love it.

[@michaelsimpson208]

2:29! 💥🤯🧠

[@simpasaurussmooth67]

First time I saw the video. Won't skip this on the CD no more.

[@houseboatin]

Boots has aparently attended Pieidmont parties.

[@frenchgemini6686]

Perhaps only as an observer, like me.

[@bongdonky2568]

The first couple of Coup albums were xtra sic. Especially as a 3 piece. But musicians evolve.

[@barryherbers6090]

Both parts of this (Boots and Justin, at least) have endorsed Bernie Sanders. What a world, what a lovely world.

[@psychologicalsigma9917]

🤣🤣🤣 Bit we all know they r all puppets 🤣🤣🤣

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Man, remember hope? That was nice for a few months.

[@156mjones]

...and the vid idea is perfect! It just HAD to have puppets. BRILLIANT!

[@brennanbok8875]

"Pacific heights ain't Sunnydale."

[@ElaineBarrDesigns]

BRILLIANCE!

[@ElWizzardo]

Love the coup

[@StarBlue]

This is disturbing in a good way.

[@Born_Into_This]

It made 2 of the 3 feel guilty about their lifestyle ;-) The third dislike didn't get it and prefers the same beat song from all the Clear Channel owned radio stations....simple songs for simple minds :-o

[@frenchgemini6686]

That one third is in denial, the longest river in the world.

[@alvzugo4166]

lala lala 2021

[@baysociology]

Brilliant.

[@Born_Into_This]

It made two peeps feel guilty about their lifestyle ;-)

[@dannyzee4]

shit this is too good. feelin it what with being in college nowadays.

[@frenchgemini6686]

College is to seek an education, not a party. Many American colleges are decadent.

[@dogkungfu8510]

@@frenchgemini6686 college is to seek an education... 🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪 I was just seeking that education under the cocaine. I mean look at Scarface's desk. Who know's what under all that coke? A physics textbook? A gat? A cat? Gotta keep seeking

[@DistHerbedMinds]

Can't wait to get the CD. I

[@bustingupastarbucks]

This is awesome

[@StevenChisham]

Eatthefish presents is also on the youtube.

[@fmstack]

protip: you can think of taking the suggestion in the last line as "going extreme galt."

[@BlindWhiskeyGumball]

Brilliant!

[@brennanbok8875]

I just nerded out pretty hard after hearing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference.

[@milksharks]

hahahahaha you rule!!!!

[@StevenChisham]

Eatthefish was more than willing to help with the puppets. (can't say muppet, don't say muppet)

[@workingclasssociety]

"Check out the Facebook page for the people responsible for the existence of these terrible muppet folk." -

[@thebigm]

You should really list this video if only for all the kids that may go looking for their parent's cocaine on youtube.

[@thebigm]

I don't understand my own comment from 5 years ago.
