He Didn't Start the Fire (Sung to Billy Joel)

Banks gamble high stakes
Playing games with Real Estate.
They demand a hand out
Bush TARP bailout
Detroit is going bust
Trickles down the rest of us.
Stock prices hit the ground
Wall Street Meltdown

Now Obama's President
But that's not the end of it.
Tea Party activists
Paid for by the corportists.
Fillbuster Health Reform
John Birchers are Reborn
They deny he's President
Claim illegal resident.



Chorus:
He didn't start the fire
And he's tried to fight it
His hands tied behind him.
He didn't start the fire
And we'll never fight it
Unless we stand united

Fox's mighty smear machine
Add new players to the team
Glenn Beck's blackboard
Helps the haters keep score
Glenn outlines crazy plots.
His fans connect the dots
Gabby Giffords lies on bed
With Palin's bullets in her head.

Arab Spring, Birth Form,
Nerd Prom, Memphis Storm,
Seals take Osama down,
Bibi strolls into town,
Irish Pub long lost kin,
Ping Pong Parliament,
World leaders at G8
UN Libya debate.

Chous:
We didn't start the fire
But it's gonna keep growing
With the evil they're sowing.
We didn't start the fire
But we'll have to fight it
And we stand united.

Sarah Palin fading flame
Wants to play a Biker game
But the Thunder she can't steal
From the sound of Harley wheels.
Obama's onhe Joplin streets
Comforting the folks he meets
Later when he starts to speak
He's preaching to the preachers.
