[Verse 1]
Kate Moss, 50 Cent, Obama is the President,
Peace is scarce, no one dares, litvinenko,
Climate change, Live Aid, ketamine, new rave,
Loose morals, hearts are hollow, gaga on the radio.
Down with self-esteem, another beauty magazine
Bridgeport, suicide, Facebook the face dies,
Hedge funds, boys with guns, nanny state mania,
Immigration stole the nation, mother Russia, Abu Hamza.
[Chorus]
We didn t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didn t start the fire
No we didn t light it
But we tried to fight it
[Verse 2]
Putin has a breeding camp, Mugabe stamps his people out,
The gallows take Saddam Hussein,
The closing of Guantanamo Bay,
Tracy Emin, Doherty, a new aristocracy
David Beckham, Posh Beckham, earthquake and vanity
The Rolling Stones still play, we all know Tom Cruise is gay,
limelight celebrities, the seas have lost integrity,
Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman, Madeleine is still missing,
20 virgins up in heaven was the cause of 9/11!
[Chorus]
We didn t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didn t start the fire
No we didn t light it
But we tried to fight it
[Verse 2]
Sensitive Islamists, satire struggles to exist,
Cartoons, teddy bears could start a holy war,
X Factor, Glastonbury, Laura Marling, ecstasy,
Prince Charles and Camilla, the media is a blood sucker
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, they hold careers before the crown,
I m still loyal to the queen, and she s still loyal to you and me,
Credit crunch, cash for honours,Northern rock, John Prescott,
Labour government you ve embarrassed us all
[Chorus]
We didn t start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didn t start the fire
No we didn t light it
But we tried to fight it
[Repeat]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Advancing on the Israelites, terrorists for animal rights,
Ununited generation, love is just a hippie notion,
Queen mother laid to rest, absurd Diana inquests,
The grace to the princes stand the test,
All we have is our blood, our word, and our flesh,
Bombs over Baghdad, troops to Afghanistan,
War on terror, friendly fire, what s the truth and what s a lie?
Man has made himself a slave to oil, , gold and fame,
The empire weakens even further
Britain will be great forever.
End on single strum of G
