cyan matt - we started the fire lyrics

[verse 1]
exxon valdez runs aground, san francisco’s falling down
hostages in lebanon, tiananmen square
u.s. invades panama, tax riots in trafalgar
happy land, hussein, iran, kuwait in despair
rajiv gandhi, rodney king, gulf war in the middle east
cholera, banking fraud, soviets are almost gone
bosnia, black may, riots running through la
archives of terror, m-ssacre, ozone depletion

[chorus]
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?

[verse 2]
irish rebels, waco siege, twin towers, mississippi
chinese nukes, tuberculosis, and somalia
paula jones, aldrich ames, nancy kerrigan can’t skate
kurt cobain, nato engaged, and rwanda
tokyo, okc, selena, yitzhak rabin
gov shuts down for several weeks, and oj walks away free
militant taliban, take over afghanistan
nigerian unrest, 2pac, budget crisis

[chorus]
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?

[verse 3]
diana, heaven’s gate, pacific patch, emb-ssies
monica beneath bill’s chair, extramarital affair
impeachment, y2k, keep your children home today
hanging chads, concorde crash, palestine-israel clash
war on terror, climate change, d.c., and a spy plane
anthrax, evil axis, pray for all the catholics
bin laden, columbia, iraq, al-qaeda
beslan, abu ghraib, no weapons that we can find

[chorus]
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?

[verse 4]
mother teresa, bush, obama, jackson, prince, the pope, mandela
gates, buffett, ellen, the queen, jobs, bezos, winfrey, hawking
hurricane katrina, wikileaks, and pakistan
haiti, swine flu, mount st. helen, bp spill, the great recession
f-kushima, wall street, yousafzai, benghazi
dark knight, kony, doomsday, lance, boston, isis, and snowden
ebola, flight 370, and police brutality
white on black, black on white, when will the violence subside?

[chorus]
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?

[verse 5]
zika, brexit, refugees, irma, trump and hillary
russian hackers, wall, fake news, anthem protests, and me too
north korean missile tests, watch your cat around the pres
kids 200k in debt, immigrants, and triple x
facebook, supreme court, e-cigs, bloods, crips, and supremacists
charleston, orlando, vegas, why is hatred so contagious?
parkland, newtown, columbine, all these years & we’re still blind
how many kids have to die before we open up our eyes?

[chorus]
we started the fire
billy tried to warn us that the flames would burn us
we started the fire
and things will never change until we learn from our mistakes
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?
we started the fire
gave it room to grow and fuel when it burned low
we started the fire
wouldn’t it be tragic if we burn to ashes?
we started the fire
and things will never change until we learn from our mistakes
