[Verse 1]

Before we ever saw straight, we were grasping at straws

A debate was born, picket lines were drawn

There was this big bang once

Now we're learning to use our thumbs


[Verse 2]

We need a purpose in life, a survival guide

We need explanations for how we arrived

There was this big bang once

Now we're standing on our own two feet

There was this big bang once

We've been sharpening up our teeth


[Verse 3]

They say there was this big bang once

But the clergyman doesn't agree, oh no

There was this big bang once

But it don't jive with Adam and Eve

Original sin, idyllic garden

Some talking snake giving apples away

What would that snake say if he could only see us today?


[Verse 4]

There was this big bang once

We were left here to fill in the blanks

There was this big bang once

Now we're aimlessly drifting in space

We're gonna need an explanation for rational thought

And what it meant and the weight of our hearts

In a world of entropy, why can't we just simply be?

And don't feed me lies, intelligent design

There was this big bang once

Why are we raptured on our knees?
