Our whole u-ni-verse was in a hot dense state, then near-ly
four-teen bil-lion years a - go, ex-pan-sion start-ed. Wait!
The earth be-gan to cool, the au – to - trophs be-gan to drool,
Ne-an-der-thals de-vel-oped tools, we build a wall.
(We built the pyr-a-mids.)
Math, sci-ence, his-to-ry un – rav –el - ing the mys-ter-y that
all start-ed with the big_ bang. (Bang!)
“Since the dawn of Man” is real-ly not that long, as ev-‘ry
gal-ax-y was formed in less time than it takes to sing this song. A
frac-tion of a sec-ond and the el-e-ments were made,
the bi-peds stood up straight, the di-no-saurs all met their fate.
They tried to leap, but they were late and they all died.
(They froze their ass-es off.) The o-ceans and Pan-gae-a, see ya,
would-n’t wan-na be ya, set in mo-tion by the same_ big_ bang.
It all start-ed with the big_ bang.____
It’s___ ex__ - pand–ing ev__- er out_-ward, but one_ day,
it____ will_ pause and start to go the oth-er way,
col-laps-ing ev__-er in__-ward. We__ won’t be__ here,
It__ won’t be__ heard.
Our_ best and_ bright-est_ fig_-ure_
that it-‘ll__ make an__ e__-ven_ big_-ger_ bang.__

Aus-tra-lo-pith-e-cus would real-ly have been sick of us,
de-bat-ing how we’re here. They’re catch-ing deer
(We’re catch-ing vi-rus-es,_) Re-li-gion or as-tron – o - my, En-car-ta,
Deu-ter-on-o-my, they all start-ed with the big_ bang.
Mu-sic and my – thol – o -gy, Ein_-stein and as-trol-o-gy, it all
start-ed with the big_ bang.
It all start-ed with the big__ bang!
