## Lyrics

**Little Quark #1**

I love being-

I love-

I love-

I love being- what!

I love being small, everybody knows

That small is the best way to go, yeah

So small when it's after dark

What's up? It's ya boy, it's quark!

**Little Quark #2**

I love being small

I love being so small you cannot see me crawl

I'm going through everything

I'm going between atoms and bling

Whoa! You know that I'm in

I'm in all these things

**Little Quark #1**

What!

**Little Quark #2**

But what am I bringing?

The passion to be a small thing

**Little Quark #1**

Okay!

**Little Quark #2**

Yo! So if you look at the universe

You think it's simple and stark

Well, just keep peeling it back 'cause

Here comes your boy, quark!

**All**

Break it down, quark!

When you break it down, you get quarks!

When you break it down, you get quarks!

When you break it down, you get quarks!

**Little Quark #3**

Everybody knows that the quarks are the smallest

If we stood on each other's shoulders then we'd all be the tallest

**Little Quark #2**

Yeah!

**Little Quark #3**

We like to swim around and butt all our heads

**Little Quark #2**

What!

**Little Quark #3**

There's seven billion thousand million quarks in your bed

**Little Quark #1**

Yo, whoa

Look at me now, I'm all around

I'm in the air and the ground

Yeah, I'm on your face, I'm in your bed

I am all over the place

And I'm here, I will not change

I will not be smaller or be rearranged

I'll be here 'til the day I die

What's up? I'm a quark, motherfucker, I'm fly!

**All**

Break it down, you get a quark!

When you break it down, you get a quark!

**Little Quark #2**

Yeah, we're the ittiest bittest building-est blocks, that we are around

**All**

When you break it down (break it down), you get a quark!

**Little Quark #2**

I know it's complicated, it's hard to understand

If you took all of the grains on the beach, you took every grain of sand

**Little Quark #1**

What!

**Little Quark #2**

Just push them together, that wouldn't be a beginning

**Little Quark #1**

No!

**Little Quark #2**

No, that's just the beginning and the end and this is how we're singing, yo!

So every star, they are all a multitude

But those stars are just carbon on fire, let me think, sing it dude

But you get that atom yo, you split it apart

**Little Quark #1**

When you break it down, oh you know you get a quark!

**All**

When you break it down, you get a quark!

When you break it down, you get a quark!

**Little Quark #2**

Aw yeah, hah, hah

But sometimes I wonder

Does it end with us?

**Little Quark #1**

Get real!

**Little Quark #2**

But are there even smaller things

A smaller speck of cosmic dust?

**Little Quark #1**

What could possibly be smaller than a quark?

How small can you go?

Unless we keep colliding and colliding and colliding

**Little Quark #1 and #2**

Then we will never know

**All**

We got to break it down, what's inside a quark?

When you break it down, what's inside a quark?

**Little Quark #2**

We gotta get this matter solved, like in the dark

When you break it down, what's inside a quark?
