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.

Kate Moss, 50 Cent, Obama is the president
Peace is scarce, no one dares, litvinenko
Climate change, live aid, katemine, new rave, loose morals, hearts are hollow,
GaGa on the radio
Down with self esteem, another beauty magazine,
Bridgeport, suicide, Facebook, the face dies,
Hedge funds, boys with guns, manic state mania,
Immigration stole the nation, Mother Russia, Abu Hamza
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
Putin has a breeding camp, Mugabe stamps his people out,
The gallows take Saddam Hussein, the closing of Guantanamo Bay,
Tracy Emin and Doherty, the new aristocracy
David Beckham, Posh Beckham, earthquake, and vanity,
The Rolling Stones still play, we all know Tom Cruise is gay,
Lime light celebrities, the season lost integrity,
Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman, Madeline is still missing, 20 virgins up in heaven,
What's the cause of 9/11?
Sensitive Islamist, satire struggles to exist,
Cartoons, teddy bears could start a holy war,
X factor, Glastonbury, Laura Marling, ecstasy, Prince Charles and Camilla,
The media is a bloodsucker.
Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, they owned Koreas before the crown, I'm still loyal to the Queen, and she's still loyal to you and me
Credit Crunch, cash for honors, northern rock, John Prescott,
Labor government union embarrassed us all
Advancing on the Israelites, terrorist for animal rights,
Ununited generation, love is just a hippie notion,
Queen Mother laid to rest, absurd Diana inquests,
The grace of the Prince has stand it's test,
Existentialist whine? Muhammad fiat
Bombs over Baghdad, troops to Afghanistan, war on terror, friendly fire,
What's the truth and what's a lie?
Man has made himself a slave to oil, porn, gold and fame
But as the dollar weakens even further
Britain will be great forever.
