Billion Things

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things

Gonna make the stuff that go on our sunburns and bee-stings

Gonna have to make it all ourselves

The Lavalamps, garbage stamps, and things that Staples sells

Gonna get a bit expensive

The learning curve will definitely be intensive

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things

Gonna have to make all of our own beach-balls and porch swings

Gonna have to make the hammers and nails

And all the pink ribbons little girls put in their pigtails

Gonna take us in a new direction

Gonna start a brand new connection

Have to make about a Billion Things

I'll make for you and you make for me

Make something strong; I'll make something pretty

And we'll feel alive

Slow down as we go down this new road

We'll survive, find our way and make each day something precious

We get to explore, nothing's like before

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things

We're gonna have to make all our iPods and cellphones

And paper cups, for those summertime snow cones

Someone better make sneakers and shoes

Someone else better learn to make booze

There gonna be so many new unknowns

I may as well be living with The Flinstones

Gonna have to make about a Billion Things

I'll make for you and you make for me

Make something strong; I'll make something pretty

Our sun will aways rise and shine

Close your eyes and redefine

We're standing at the edge of a brand new time

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things

Gonna have to make all of our own picks and guitar strings

Gonna have to make flat screen TVs

Eat home-made crackers with home-made cream cheese

(Gonna have to make about a Billion Things) How am I ever gonna get dental floss?

And all the stuff you're gonna need for your hair loss?

(Gonna have to make about a Billion Things) Can anyone make a coffee maker?

Can anyone even make a salt shaker?

I'll make for you and you make for me

Make something strong; I'll make something pretty

(Gonna have to make about a Billion Things) Someone's gonna have to make lamp wires

And someone's gonna have to make hair dryers

(Gonna have to make about a Billion Things) And someone's gonna have to make frying pans

If you don't live in the south you can't have pea-cans

(Have to make about a Billion Things) Do you think the human race is gonna prevail?

Think that you could get along without Emails?

(Gonna have to make about a Billion Things) Forget about losing and winning

Here comes a brand new beginning

(Have to make about a Billion Things)

We'll feel alive

Slow down as we go down this new road

We'll survive, find our way and make each day something precious

We get to explore, nothing's like before

We're gonna have to make about a Billion Things
