Listen to the words,the song get's better the longer it goes on... :flop:

And from youtube user-
5th (final) Verse: George Bush, Fox News, Internet, You Tube, Iraq, Afghanistan, Bhutto killed in Pakistan. 9-11, bird flu, Darfur, swine flu, GFC, Avatar, Tiger Woods is under par. Earthquakes, Tsunami Climate change armies, Fighting the Taliban, Obama says 'yes we can!' Eminem, Britney Spears, Big Brother's full of queers, What's my carbon footprint? This is getting all too weird!! We couldn't stop the fire It was always burning, yet the world’s still turning etc.. :flop:

Good post/statement here

My answer:
NO WE DID NOT START THE FIRE, although we do keep getting blamed for it.

SO WHO DID?

Absolutely mate,you know i've listened to this song loads of times when i was younger,but like so many back then never pain any attention to the words...strange that the videos don't show on disclose,well just double click on it to take you straight to youtube for a listen...
Yeah who did start the fire..WHAT??...you know?...we're just locked in this eternal battle it seems..good versus evil it seems,ying and yang...we only need to do what is right,what is in our heart to put out the fire permanently..and more and more people are today than ever before..times are a changin...be positive always and let everything else take care of itself..the 5th verse of the song was the work of a youtube user i thought was brilliant,joel does'nt actually sing those words..unfortunately..he does mention Rockefeller and vaccines which i think is mind blowing...Birth control,terror on the airlines...afghanistan and Iran..foreign debts....martial law....JFK blown away what more do i have to say!!.. :clapper:

5th verse..would be i'm sure

.. early impression is he is taking the piss out of what many perceive in the Western world as 'normal' life?..
