 To the tune of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire:

George Bush, Nelson’s free, reunifying Germany 

Kurt Cobain, life of pain, Nirvana never plays again

Furby toys and Game Boys  bring the kiddies lots of joy

Hammer says “You can’t touch this”; Pop Rocks fizzle on your lips

Saddam Hussein, Desert Storm, Cammo print becomes the norm.

Freddie Mercury dies of AIDS, Big shopping Malls are all the rage  

 

We found the fires burning  

We try to fix it; opponents nix it.

We found the fires burning

We try to place the blame on who started the flame

 

Bill Clinton White House Bound, Chunnel Tunnel underground 

Diana’s tragic crash in France, J.K. Rowling gets her chance  

iMacs, PCs, Euros, cloning, Jobs and Gates get big tech growing 

Seinfeld, Simpsons, Technotronic, Ice-Ice Baby, Boy Bands iconic

 

We found the fires burning  

We try to fix it; opponents try to nix it.

We found the fires burning

We try to place the blame on who started the flame

 

Bush, Gore, Chads on the floor, Y2K fears never more  

September when the Towers fell; We thought the world would go to Hell. 

Taliban and then Katrina terrorize the world scene-a 

Columbine and next V-Tech; we fear for who will be the next

Obama wins; Facebook begins, Online social life is in

Sandy Hook, a Marathon; when will the war on guns be won?

 

Same sex marriage, Pulse nightclub; Do you believe that Love is Love? 

Vegas, Charlottesville, Parkland; Why is it that big guns aren’t  banned?

Donald Trump he spreads fake news, He’s orange, creepy and so rude 

He wants a wall he wants his way; I worry for the kids today.

Racial tensions, global warming; Issues growing most alarming

Now we have the vi-a-rus What is to become of us?

 

We found the fires burning  

We try to fix it; opponents try to nix it 

We found the fires burning

We try to place the blame on who started the flame
