Lyrics

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

1. Sydney host Olympic Games, 9/11, George Bush, Wikipedia, iPod, made first cyborg, iMac, Indonesia
2. Al Qaeda suicide bombing it killed 26 people, a blus no a bus plunges off a cliff at sang side15 dead, 45 people are massacred by the Syrian Army, John Kerry voted as Secretary of State, 9 people are killed by car bomb in Syria, Obama re-elected , South Korea launches are near

3. Cut back two years,when 9/11 brought tears
Iraq's invaded by the USA,payback is coming in this dark,dark day
Back at our home place,people jump onto MySpace
Hurricane Katrina rocks The US to it's very base
Now jump into space,the Columbia meets it's disaster
Proving once again through tragedy that space can't be mastered
Pluto proven a dwarf,less then a planet
Saddam Hussein assassinated,that can end the war can't it?
4. Harry Potter, Twilight Saga, can't forget about the death of Osama bin Ladin, Captain America, Thor, so sigh no more
