Lyrics:

Water Bear Don't Care

[Verse]
Space it's a dangerous place
Without any atmospheric pressure
Moisture melts off your face
[Melts off your face!]
You'd also have trouble breathing
There's no air out there
Unsuitable for most living beings
You have about a minute with no suit to survive
Stay out there longer and you can't be revived
Talking about space
Pretty dangerous
Unsuitable environment for any of us
One exception
Not what you're expecting
Micro-Organisms that need no protection
Tardigrades
aka Water Bears
They can live anywhere
Earth, space
They don't care

[Hook]
No atmospheric pressure?
Water Bear Don't Care
No Oxygen or Air?
Water Bear Don't Care
Solar Radiation?
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
No atmospheric pressure?
Water Bear Don't Care
No Oxygen or Air?
Water Bear Don't Care
Solar Radiation?
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care

It's crazy how a creature, can be so small
And be the strongest creature of them all
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The tardigrade is less than a millimeter tall

[Verse 2]
Look any where on Earth
And you will have no trouble finding them
Water bears survive and thrive
In almost all environments
Extremophiles
They don't care about the weather!
Water Bear don't even care about temperature
Katy Perry let the truth be told
Water Bear Don't Care if it's Hot or Cold
What if Tardigrades came from another planet?
Traveling through space, Panspermia Transit
Crazy idea. Yes I know
It would be nice to know that we are not alone
If they can live over here and they can live anywhere
It's possible that there's life somewhere out there

[Hook]
No atmospheric pressure?
Water Bear Don't Care
No Oxygen or Air?
Water Bear Don't Care
Solar Radiation?
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
No atmospheric pressure?
Water Bear Don't Care
No Oxygen or Air?
Water Bear Don't Care
Solar Radiation?
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care
Water Bear Don't Care

It's crazy how a creature, can be so small
And be the strongest creature of them all
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The tardigrade is less than a millimeter tall
