Before we ever saw straight
We were graspin' at straws
A debate was born
Picket lines were drawn
There was this big bang once
Now we're learnin' to use our thumbs
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 standin' on our own two feet
There was this big bang once
We've been sharpenin' up our teeth
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 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 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?
