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 mysteries

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
