Error In The System Lyrics - Error In The System / Fehler Im System - Peter Schilling

Barely had we landed on this planet Earth 

Came to the conclusion survival was the word 

Back in the beginning to lift our mental fog 

Each and every person created their own god 

Planning our protection, huts were built for sleep 

Making new discoveries of earthly energies 

Huts turned into houses and wood became concrete 

Natural progression but where would this all lead? 

[chorus] 

Far beyond the farthest corners, of our stratosphere 

While the planets go on spinning, we are banished here 

Now we are synthetic, genetics point the way 

We'll be building humans from plastic parts one day 

Somewhere a computer records us from afar 

Looking for the error in the system on this star 

[repeat chorus] 

[bridge] 

Out of our creation, we have lost control 

Banished on a planet where dreams are bought and sold 

Somewhere a computer observing how we are 

Searching for the error in the system on this star 

[repeat chorus x 3, and fade out]
