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.

The Boss Of Nova Prime

I am the boss of Nova Prime
And all you little bags of meat are mine
It's been twenty seven days since we last had an incident
Or accident (that wasn't by design)

I am the boss of Nova Prime
And it's a chore keeping all of you alive
But in the end you will give me what I want
So give me what I want and we'll be fine

I am the air you breathe, I am the atmosphere
I am the reason you stick around
I am the skin keeping the insides in, I am the gravity holding you down
I am the boss of Nova Prime, I am the boss of Nova Prime

You are the limbs I am the spine
I'm gonna bend, you're gonna break
Everything was working out fine until
These damn dirty apes started making dumb mistakes
It's hard enough to keep the lights on
It's hard enough to keep you breathing
I know I make this job seem easy peasy
But looks can be deceiving, so

It's nothing personal if I cut you loose
It's nothing personal if I let you float away
It's really not your lucky day
It's really not your lucky day today

'Cause I'm the boss of Nova Prime
And I decide who lives or dies
I am the boss of Nova Prime
And I decide who lives or dies

I am the air you breathe, I am the atmosphere
I am the reason you stick around
I am the spin keeping the insides in, I am the gravity holding you down
I am the boss of Nova Prime, I am the boss of Nova Prime

This orbit is degrading
You apes are holding me back
This orbit is degrading
You apes are dragging me down
