We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone
Will it 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
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it but we tried to fight it
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 but we tried to fight it
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
