verse 1: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
smallpox, n0bel prize, queen victoria dies
vacuum cleaner, entente, and australia
olympic games, times square, trans siberia

crayon, aeroplane, wright brothers, triple a
romanian revolt, man in the north pole
boxer rebellion, russia versus j+pan
hawaii, model t, einstein’s relativity

chorus 1: (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
no, we didn’t light it, no we couldn’t fight it

verse 2: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
red baron, king kong, king edward 7’s gone
titanic, taiwan, princip and ferdinand
wilson, kaiser, bolsheviks get the tzar
women’s suffrage, gallipoli peninsula

silent films on the brink, tassie tiger goes extinct
assembly line, jutland, chamberlain, rasputin
russia, america, roswell, commonwealth
jessie owens, hindenburg, tri 11 armistice
chorus 2: (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
no, we didn’t light it, no we couldn’t fight it

oh, oh, oh

verse 3: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
harry “handcuff” houdini, india’s independency
n+z+ germany, wizard of oz
battle of stalingrad, charlie chaplin, and his acts
george orwell, 84’, i can’t take it anymore
chorus 3: (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
no, we didn’t light it, no we couldn’t fight it

verse 4: (jack byrne, jack byrne & nicholas tatham)
casablanca, influenza, superman, mona lisa
madame curie, somme battle, william handy
start of the great depression, project sign and aliens
carrier pigeon lost, pearl harbour, holocaust
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)
we didn’t start the fire
it was always burning since the world’s been turning
we didn’t start the fire
no, we didn’t light it, you’ll do better than i did

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
