BIG BANG
[ Americana/comedy ]


They say trust in science, don’t say nothin’ in school ‘bout sin
That we come from a monkey’s uncle but that’s hardly fair to them
’Cause if science had the brains of the dumbest monkey on the block
We wouldn't worry ‘bout global warmin’ or nuclear aftershock

                     Blame it on the big bang
                     And Darwin’s orangutan
                     Why blame ourselves when
                     The good times boomerang?
                     If we're afraid to believe in God
                     Who the hell else can we blame for rain?
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     An' DNA chain

                     If we’re afraid to mention God
                     In our public schools
                     Kids will get no satisfaction
                     From breakin’ all his rules
                     If they won’t listen to a dang thang
                     And hang with a street gang
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     An' DNA chain

                     Blame it on the big bang
                     When they call you jackass
                     For usin’ God’s name in vain
                     In your science class
                     When natural selection
                     Brings social rejection
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     Come on, help us sang

                     If you lose that high-tech job
                     And you can't pay the rent
                     You got no money in the bank
                     An' the paycheck’s long been spent
                     When they lock your butt up in the hole
                     For drinkin' away the pain
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     An' DNA chain

                     Blame it on the big bang
                     When they declare you insane
                     And no matter which pill you take
                     It don’t cure the last gilt pang
                     When youthful pride starts saggin’
                     An' the wing has left your wang
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     File a medical claim

                     Blame it on the big bang
                     And the black hole in the space
                     Between ACLU ears
                     And the rest of the human race
                     When the gods of rocket science
                     Blow us past the cosmic plane
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     And the DNA chain
                     Blame it on the big bang
                     An’ our sci-fried brain *
