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.

Why Are You Hitting Yourself

Why are you hitting yourself
Are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?

Do not look behind the curtain
These are orders not suggestions
Puppets must do as directed
Do not move until you're told

Shut your filthy mouth don't make me
Leave you in the dark again, and
If you take that tone with me
I'll put you in your box and then
Who knows? Perhaps you'll be forgotten
Puppets are such simple things
You should accept you're not the one who pulls the strings

Why are you hitting yourself, are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?

Use the words that you've been given
No one cares for your opinion
You're a voice without a mind
Who speaks for those who stand behind you
It's a fact of your construction
Baby, you were made for this
You're the mouth and I'm the magic
You're no ventriloquist

Why are you hitting yourself, are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?
Why are you hitting yourself, are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?
Why are you hitting yourself, are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?
Why are you hitting yourself, are you kidding me
Why are you hitting yourself?
