Barenaked Ladies - The History Of Everything

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, unravelling the mysteries
That all started with the big 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, 'cause the stars 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, Encarta, 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
