Koka Kola
The Clash Lyrics

Elevator goin' up
Starting from the ground floor, the elevator goes up to the fifty-first floor of a building

In the gleaming corridors of the fifty-first floor
The hallway of the fifty-first floor is shiny and reflective

The money can be made if you really want some more
Opportunities for making more money are available for those who desire it

Executive decision, a clinical precision
The decision-making process of executives is precise and methodical

Jumping from the windows, filled with indecision
Some people are unsure about their choices and may even contemplate suicide

I get good advice from the advertising world
The singer receives helpful suggestions from marketing and promotional campaigns

Treat me nice, party girl
The singer expects to be treated kindly, just like a female partygoer

Koke adds life where there isn't any
Coca-Cola can provide a sense of excitement or pleasure even in dull or boring situations

So freeze, man, freeze
Stop what you're doing and pay attention to the advertisement for Coca-Cola

It's the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power
Taking a moment to drink Coca-Cola can provide a sense of rejuvenation in a place of authority or influence

When top men need a top up long before the happy hour
Even high-ranking individuals require a drink, well before the scheduled time for relaxation or fun

Your snakeskin suit and your alligator boot
Possibly a reference to exotic or expensive clothing items

You won't need a launderette, you can take 'em to the vet!
The quality of these high-end garments means you can have them cleaned by a veterinarian instead of a regular launderette

Koka Kola advertising and cocaine
Coca-Cola advertisements share some similarities with drug promotions

Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Walking down the busy street of Broadway during wet weather

Neon light sign says it
A brightly lit sign provides further advertising for Coca-Cola

I read it in the paper, they're crazy
News outlets or media publications express their opinions about the questionable behavior associated with drug and soda advertisements

Yeah, suit your life, maybe so
It's possible that you can tailor your lifestyle to fit the image portrayed in the advertisements

In the White House, I know
Even the President of the United States is familiar with the influence of marketing campaigns

All over Berlin, they do it for years
Promoting and consuming Coca-Cola has been happening for several years in Berlin

And in Manhattan
The advertising and consumption of Coca-Cola occurs in Manhattan as well

Coming through the door is a snub nose forty four
A weapon, specifically a handgun, enters the scene

What the barrel can't snort it can spatter on the floor
Doing cocaine is messy and can result in powder spilling on the ground

Your eyeballs feel like pinballs
Excessive drug use can make your vision erratic or disorienting

And your tongue feels like a fish
The sensation of having a slippery or numb tongue, possibly due to drug use

You're leapin' from the windows sayin' "Don't get me none of this!"
Some drug users experience such extreme reactions that they commit suicide by jumping out of high-rise buildings to avoid the experience altogether

Koke adds life, advertising world
Coca-Cola breathes fresh life into marketing campaigns

"Treat me nice", says the party girl
Partiers expect to be treated with kindness, similar to how Coca-Cola promises to make you feel good

Koke adds life where there isn't any
Coca-Cola makes mundane activities more enjoyable

So freeze, man, freeze
Stop what you're doing and consume Coca-Cola to feel more refreshed and alive

Hit the deck
Get on the ground quickly or prepare for impact
