Bacteria Songtext
von The Ernies

I know you must have noticed that things never last
Like the pleasure in your life in the present or the past
When your perception of time and space leaves you craving
For things out of place in your life
Your prioritized occurrences become your new sentence
Because you think life should be
Doesn′t mean the should be must be reality

You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you and
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you are

This body, this you, a flash of lightning
This mind, this you, the water of a mirage
This life, this you, the sound of an echo
This you, this you, a ball of foam


But it's all in my brain this talk of decay
My mind is defined by decay and anyway
Of all the people on the face of the earth
In a few more years, well they′ll be ready for rebirth
That is they'll be dead
Well that's what I said
In one hundred years well we′ll all be dead
So you gotta be aware of the cycles everywhere
Life is so rare you gotta stop and be aware

You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you and
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you are
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you and
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you are

This body, this you, a flash of lightning
This mind, this you, the water of a mirage
This life, this you, the sound of an echo
This you, this you, a ball of foam


No mind, no I
(And an out of existence, a bacteria under a microscope)
No more can I be me
(And an out of existence, a bacteria under a microscope)
No I, no I
(And an out of existence, a bacteria under a microscope)
No more can I be me
(And an out of existence)

You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you and
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you are
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you and
You were taught that you are you
That you alone are you and you are

No mind, no I
No you, no no
No time, no mind
No you, no I
No you
