We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

JFK – blown away, what else do I have to say?

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again

Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock

Hypodermics on the shore, China's under martial law

Rock and roller, cola wars, I can't take it anymore

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

But when we are gone

It will still burn on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning, since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it

This is in the top 5 songs that shouldn't be sung at a karaoke bar.

If we didn't have this song, it'd just be me up there singing Johnny Rebel for four hours.

Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Anyone know a good Karaoke bar near MLK Boulevard?

If you say this isn't a good song you have shit taste

It has a catchy chorus melody, I'll give you that. Shame somebody forgot to write the instrumentals, lyrics, melody and it was structured by a janitor.

Even Billy Joel doesn't think it's a good song.

Billy Joel repeatedly thought he was sober enough to drive.

I like it. :-)

It's not a good song just because of references lmao

The boomer anthem
