WE RULE THE WORLD
(written 2017/recorded 2017/remixed 2020)
(contains a quotation from the bible, genesis 1:28)

---

we colonise anything and everything
we populate you from the inside and the outside
we produce your livelihood and we digest it all
we rule the water, air and soil
we survive at any rate and we survive by any means
we migrate into any hole and into any slot
we control the globes and we control the universe

we have been here for an eternity before you came up
and we will still be here for another eternity after you will have gone

may we introduce ourselves
we are the microbes
and we rule the world
we enjoy our ubiquitous
biocenosis
by which we rule the world

[be fruitful,
and multiply,
and replenish the earth,
and subdue it:
and have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth]

from your digestive tract we control your needs and wants
we rule your thoughts and your emotions
we survive in hotness, coldness, vacuum and under high pressure
we live on asteroids, on moons and on the star dust
we control the globes and we control the universe

we have been here for an eternity before you came up
and we will still be here for another eternity after you will have gone

may we introduce ourselves
we are the microbes
and we rule the world
we enjoy our ubiquitous
biocenosis
by which we rule the world

we rule the world
we rule the world
