Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Bang went the Universe
Hydrogen lusting for Helium's burst
A might sun's dance of death
Exploding super nova
One stories end
Seeds another to begin
[Verse 3]
Then the heavens opened
And then I heard voices
Joined in Hosannas
Breathlessly I saw your star
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
And then you took my hand
Oh yes you did
[Verse 6]
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 rehumanizes
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Oxygen and carbon
Part of our molecular machine
Goals and dreams
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be
[Verse 10]
Hydrogen, calcium
Phosphorus, Potassium
Sulfur, sodium
All I wanna be
Is the very best
Machine I can be
[Verse 11]
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
