lyrics

This is the story of the world as you know it.

Bang.

So, this big blob blew apart and went in all directions.
It created many stars and planets and moons and such
And after a few hours the Earth cooled off.

Great oceans appeared and soon there were amoebas, Joan Rivers
and great dynofish. The fierce competition among the
soaked beasts drove them to beaches everywhere.

Some grew legs and sharp pointy teeth and they bit everything
until Quinten Tarintino had them all shoot each other in the Middle East.

All that were left were roaches and small furry people. Some waxed
and took off all over the planet. Jesus came and brought his message
of love and peace… so, everyone killed each other.

Some lost souls cried out in vain as people progressed into
kings, pirates and software moguls. Most of the worlds population
ended up working at Wal-Mart until a second great man was born
from common sales associates in the gardening center and rose up
and lead his people to freedom.

Eventually, they went back to work – but, they had finally tasted freedom.

Too much unprotected sex created a planet with so many people that the land sank into the sea and man had succomb to amoeba.

But, the Earth continued to evolve.

Aliens, through their archeological exploration unearthed the remnants of a creature unlike any that they had see before… man.

They beamed one up to the ship and sent it off to the Aliensonian
Many light years away. After careful restoration, there stood the perfect
Image of man for all to see…

David Hasselhoff in gym shorts.

The sun withered and turned a dark cold red and then imploded. The ensuing black hole collapsed everything within reach into a big blob once again.

And we were back to where we started.
There was a big explosion.
The whole thing started over again.

And the only thing that survived from the first time was David Hasselhoff to represent man and all that we have accomplished.

Good work Dave.
