Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!

You know what it means?
I’ll crush all your dreams
You know what it means?
I’ll crush all your dreams

Leave me now
I’ll be your Kaputnik
I’ll undermine you
and get in your way
I’ll still resent
the fact that you’ve left me
I won’t relax
until you come back to stay

I’ll say it’s tragic
a mistake that we split up
and watch suspiciously
your cheerful pride
You’ll have betrayed
my trust and our history
From this Kaputnik
There’ll be nowhere to hide

Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!

I’ll never recognise
your new independence
I’ll say you wish
you hadn’t lost all you had
And then suggest
an intervention is needed
by someone like me
who knows you’ve gone mad

Look out of your window
one morning in summer
My tanks will be driving
to park on your lawn
They’ll crush all your flowers
with radios blaring
and computers sharing
violence and porn

I’ll turn the clock back
I’ll do the hack work
I’ll be the only one
who knows what it means
With the best of motives
“humanitarian”
your Kaputnik
will crush all your dreams

Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!

We had some good times
when I cracked the whip
Mine was the firm hand
steering the ship
Leave me now
and I’ll make you regret it
I’m your Kaputnik
and don’t you forget it

Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
You know what it means?
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
I’ll crush all your dreams
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
You know what it means?
Kaputnik! Kaputnik!
I’ll crush all your dreams
All your dreams
