āBirth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again
Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock
Begin, Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline
Ayatollahās in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan
āWheel of Fortuneā, Sally Ride, heavy metal su***de
Foreign debts, homeless vets, AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shore, Chinaās under martial law
Rock and roller, cola wars, I canāt take it anymore
We didnāt start the fire
It was always burning, since the worldās been turning
We didnāt 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 onā
Lyrics:
Billy Joel wrote these lyrics in 1989, the year Jennifer was conceived. Itās heartbreaking to know we DIDNāT start these fires. But we REFUSE to let this planet continue burning on and on. Please contact your elected representatives and demand a Ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon. BOTH mentioned in the song in 1989āthis fire isnāt new, and we CAN put it out. 1/4 of our country is in ruins from natural disaster and yet our government (both major parties) have decided to send $8.7Billion to a foreign governmentās effort to slaughter innocent civilians under the guise of āterrorismā. We DIDNāT start this fire, but we CAN put it out. We the people can stand United together, but divided we will always fall to the continuation of this burning fire of greed, destruction, and hatred that our politicians perpetuate. Killing and war are NOT the only solutions to geopolitical problems and do NOT let our government convince you otherwise. Please, contact ALL of your elected representatives TODAY and demand a ceasefire and redirection of funds to OUR PEOPLE IN NEED. If they do not listen, VOTE. VOTE THEM OUT! We need representation that listens to US, the constituents, not AIPAC or other foreign campaign donors.
