Barenaked Ladies - The Big Bang Theory lyrics

Our whole universe was in a hot, dense state
Then nearly fourteen billion years ago
Expansion started wait
The Earth began to cool
The autotrophs began to drool
Neanderthals developed tools
We built a wall (We built the pyramids)
Math, science, history
Unraveling the mystery
That all started with the big bang (Bang)

Since the dawn of man is really not that long
As every galaxy was formed in less time
Than it takes to sing this song
A fraction of a second and
The elements were made
The bipeds stood up straight
The dinosaurs all met their fate
They tried to leap but they were late
And they all died
(They froze their asses off)
The oceans and Pangea
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Set in motion by the same big bang

It all started with the big bang

It's expanding ever outward but one day
It will pause and start to go the other way
Collapsing ever inward, we won't be here
It won't be heard
Our best and brightest figure that it'll
Make an even bigger bang

Australopithecus would really have been
Sick of us debating how we're here
They're catching deer
(We're catching viruses)
Religion or astronomy
Descartes or Deuteronomy
It all started with the big bang

Music and mythology, Einstein and astrology
It all started with the big bang
It all started with the big bang
