Lyrics

Bang

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Bang went the gun on their tongue

Word crucifixion toward immigrants shunned

Immigrants that's who we all are

'Cause we're all made of stars

You said to them

Oh, yes you did

Bang went the universe

Hydrogen lusting for helium's burst

A mighty sun's dance of death

Exploding super nova

One story's end

Seeds another to begin

Then the heavens opened

And then I heard voices

Joined in hosannas

Breathlessly I saw your star

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

And then you took my hand

Oh, yes you did

Bang the world now traumatized

By a cluster of hostile humans who side

With their warlords of hate

So we must out-create

With the backbone of night

To re-humanize

Then the heavens opened

And then I heard voices

Joined in hosannas

And their tower of confusion

Could not drown the light

From your star

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

So bright it blinded me

I had to shield my eyes

And then you lit the path

Oh, yes you did

Can't they see, he said to me

That we all are molecular machines

Goals and dreams

All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be

Oxygen and carbon

Part of our molecular machine

Goals and dreams

All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be

Hydrogen, calcium

Phosphorus, potassium

Sulfur, sodium

All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be

Chlorine, magnesium

Boron, chromium

Cobalt, copper, fluorine

All I wanna be is the very best machine I can be

Iodine, iron, manganese

Molybdenum, selenium

Silicon, tin, vanadium and zinc

All I wanna be, a molecular machine
