WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE (Billy Joel) The lyrics talks about the historical n political events between 1949 & 1989 that had changed the world. But even after 25 years, the fire is still on & turning to an inferno. What would have been the lyrics if it was re-written in this present day present context ! Below is the extracts of the lyrics... .....Reagan, Palestine, Terror on the airline Ayatollahs in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide Foreign debts, homeless Vets, AIDS, Crack, Bernie Goetz Hypodermics on the shores, Chinas under martial law Rock and Roller Cola wars, I cant take it anymore We didnt start the fire It was always burning Since the worlds been turning We didnt start the fire No we didnt light it But we tried to fight it We didnt 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...
