It Lives, It Breathes
We Didn’t Start The Fire
[Verse 1]
Cops are falling out of line
Congress running out of time
Ceiling being raised again
Who cares, we're broke anyway
Donald Trump, Hilary
Change is what we really need
Drone strikes, neon lights
American dreams

[Verse 2]
Bruce's name is Caitlyn now
Go ahead and show us how
The hardest thing for women is
Finding what to wear
Miley Cyrus, free the breast
Kanye West for president
Charlie Sheen, HIV
Tiger blood, that what you mean?

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Gun laws, GMOs
Lamar Odom, smart phones
Whoever said money was the answer that you need?
Middle east, Syria, Refugees, Hysteria
Seeking your asylum never seemed so fucking hard
Russian plane taken down
None of us are safe and sound
Even Christmas parties are a terrible affair
Charlie Hebdo, heresy
Going down in infamy
Isis at the rock show
Paris won't take anymore

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
Justin Bieber's back again
Lebron James' balding head
Gay marriage all the way
Malaysian Airlines disappeared
Tom Brady's deflated balls
Adele and her a thousand calls
Chris Pratt, Jurassic World
Hover boards and Star Wars
[Verse 5]
Earthquakes, hand-shakes
Making deals with high-stakes
Global warming, habits forming
Giving what you take
Do we realize what it takes?
Lives matter, every race
Michael Brown blown away
What else do I have to say?

[Chorus]
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...
We didn't start the fire
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
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
