Lyrics

We've been around for a long time and in that time we've written a lot of songs, some in our previous incarnation as Bikini Black Special, and then even more as Zvilnik - so if you fancy a browse through lyrics old and new, fill your boots. Dig into the back catalogue of satirical sinister speculative cabaret, a fusion of science fiction, political satire, grotesque comedy, and theatrical storytelling that's been built up over actual decades.

Schrodinger's Bomb

We'll just take it on the chin
Not get in a state about the state we're in, and
It stops hurting eventually
Nothing lubricates like a bit of free money
There's an explosive truck on the steps of the embassy
Another threat to life and liberty
If you're gonna make us vote for democracy
Then that's not democracy

I am Sam I am, and I am what I am
I won't carry the can for the man
Cause he never did a damn thing for me

As a convenient rule of thumb
The smallest bit of proof is a smoking gun, and
A little bit of bang and blame
Even if it isn't you it's gotta be someone
Got a flame of panic we'll fan it
Refine it for a time like a fine wine let it mellow
Get the boys in some high tech toys in
Get the boys it's a public health warning

There's a suitcase sitting on the concourse
You could say it's Schrodinger's Bomb
Another dud until it choose to prove otherwise
Give it a minute in the spirit of free enterprise

Fan the flame a little more, watch it getting bigger
This is what you do with a planet on a hair trigger
Welcome home we love you long time
Sucky sucky five dollar followers
To wear your colours and your collar

I am Sam I am, and I am what I am
I won't carry the can for the man
Cause he never did a damn thing for me
