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 leave, but they were late and they all died.

(They froze their asses off.)

The oceans and Pangaea.

See? You 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!
