We Didn't Start the Fire.... Updated

So I'm a history/politics/pop culture nerd so, naturally I love the Billy Joel song, "We Didn't Start the Fire" The following is my attempt at updating it starting from where it left off at the end of the 80s. The rhythm is tough but here it is.

Charles Taylor, Estonia, game boy, Latvia,
Sandinista, Johnny Carson, Pablo Escobar,

Bart Simpson, Magic Johnson, later Nancy Kerrigan
Desert Storm, Desert Shield, War in East Timor.

Clarence Thomas, Arafat, Seinfeld, Yitzhak,
Fertility pill, Brady bill, Walmart's gotta new new store..

Time Warner, Marion Barry, Rwanda’s gotten really scary
Rap, Gotti, Ebay, Ukraine, oh, and say goodbye to McVeigh!

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
But we tried to fight it.

Douglass Coupland, Kurt Cobain, Rumsfeld met Saddam Hussein,
Newt Gingrich, Jian Zemin, Mike Tyson takes it in the chin.

IPO, Monica, Liebermann, Slovakia,
Free Tibet, the internet, and all of Enron’s shit

Putin, Blair, Ken Starr, Shell wants the ANWAR
OJ, Kobe, Heaven’s Gate, and foot and mouth in cattle.

Pokeman, MoveOn, trouble in Florida
Tony Hawk, Tiger Woods, and the Battle for Seattle!

CHORUS

Anorexic, Atkins’s, Napster, invade another nation
“A Clash of Civilization” and Bin laden’s in Wazuristan,

Xbox, Matrix, Ali G, anthrax,
China, Chavez, Cheney, Juarez.

Taliban, Harrison, “Brokeback Mountain”

Ipod, Hezbollah, peak oil, Africa,
Venezuela, Gaza, Hurricane Katrina
Victor Prodi, Spiderman, tsunami, Koizumi
Frodo, TiVo, Daily Show, and Chechens seiging Moscow!

CHORUS
