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 Magic Eight Ball

We've been accumulating bad ideas
And bad ideas are all the rage, these days
We've been degenerating, that's true
But so have you
So we asked the magic eight ball
To see what it predicts
It says, in the future all the music will sound like this

This is not magic
These are random chances
This is not magic
This is only fluid dynamics

But that's not really what the eight ball said
It said all signs point to no, but what does an eight ball know?
We've been generating all new hits
There's a system that we use for this
Consult the magic eight ball and then we know
What should stay
What should go
We don't think
We just know
What goes in
What's dismissed
In the future all the music will sound like this

This is not magic
These are random chances
This is not magic
This is only fluid dynamics

But what does an eight ball know?
But what does an eight ball know?
But what does an eight ball know?
But what does an eight ball know?
