We didn't start the fire - Billy Joel

Back again with crazy lyrics. This  great song  acts as a time capsule of sorts. It also has a cool video. And an ‘office’ homage.

I always wanted someone to rewrite it to fit our times.

So thats the 'Millennium challenge' of you all.

We didn't start the fire - lyrics

Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, "The King and I", and "The Catcher in the Rye"

Eisenhower, vaccine, England's got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

Crazy lyrics - Its the end of the world as we know it

Here and then I hear a song with some crazy lyrics and I just want to be able to deepen my knowledge of it.

Here is the first one.

Enjoy

It’s the end of the world as we know it – R.E.M.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane -
Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn -
world serves its own needs, regardless of your own needs. Feed it up a knock,
speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height,
down height. Wire in a fire; represent the seven games in a government for
hire and a combat site. Left her wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
crop. Look at that low plane! Fine then. Uh oh, overflow, population,
common group, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its
own needs, listen to your heart bleed. Tell me with the rapture and the
reverent in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright
light, feeling pretty psyched.
