red baron, king kong, king edward 7’s gone

russia, america, roswell, commonwealth
jessie owens, hindenburg, tri 11 armistice
chorus 2: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
we didn’t start the fire

casablanca, influenza, superman, mona lisa

yangtze river flood, seven years bad luck
bockscar, enola g*y, what else do i have to say?

chorus 4: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)

verse 5: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
rhythm blues, desmond doss, penicillin, arnold ross
clemenceau, lenin wrote, more snow, binary code
fdr, national parks, dust bowl destroys the crops
j*pan in manchuria, italo*ethiopia
louis armstrong, mukden, egypt’s out of britain
las vegas, place your bets, wall street, t.rex
stolen gens, baby booms, son of krakatoa blooms
climate change, united nations, we’re all blown away
chorus 5: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
we didn’t start the fire
it was always burning since the world’s been turning
we didn’t start the fire
now that 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
