History Of Everything Lyrics - Singles - Berenaked Ladies

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!
