The Coup - We've Got A Lot To Teach You, Cassius Green lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

As the monster stood before his colleagues, he sang angelically

And wiped the blood off his fangs

The papers on the boardroom table were stained

From corpses

Piled on top of them slain

One monster yelled at me

"you've got the brains!"

And traced his claw along the table's woodgrain

It smelled like leather, Old Spice, and pain

His assistant, when yanked by choke-chain, explained

[Hook]

We've got a lot to teach you, Cassius Green

We've got a lot to teach you, Cassius Green

[Verse 2]

The assistant crouched at the monster's feet proudly

In a puddle of urine and meat

The monsters all howled at the morning spreadsheet

Above cacophonous screams from below in the street

The gargoyles that guard the building weeped

I quietly calculated routes for retreat

One beast stuck his talons out as if to greet

And said, "Welcome to the good life, son. take a seat"

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

The beast who was frothing between his tusks

Said, "They work it, we run it. they shouldn't fuss

The order of things is basically just"

I heard cheers from the creatures trapped in the air ducts

I told them to smother in their mountains of stuff

And headed to the elevator door in disgust

They said "you've forgotten. you're one of us"

I looked down at my tail, rattled it, and I cussed

[Hook]
