Lyrics
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
