Before we ever saw straight
We were graspin' at straws
A debate was born
Picket lines were drawnThere was this big bang once
Now we're learnin' to use our thumbsWe need a purpose in life
A survival guide
We need explanations
For how we arrivedThere was this big bang once
Now we're standin' on our own two feet
There was this big bang once
We've been sharpenin' up our teethThey 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 EveOriginal sin, idyllic garden
Some talkin' snake givin' apples away
What would that snake say
If he could only see us today?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 driftin' in spaceWe'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 designThere was this big bang once
Why are we raptured on our knees?
