    New to writing lyrics. Is it legal to use the name of a company in the lyrics of a song, say, Coca-cola or Facebook?

    Thanks

    I know, that i'm probably late, but i hope you can make use of it.
    No, you have to get written permission from the Company you want to use their trade-name.
    Reason: because your lyrics could contain material, which might be detrimental to the company's image. Even though you might think it is not so.
