Since the world’s been turnin’

No we didn’t light it,
But we tried to fight it.

Cheney and his quail gun, here we go, we’re almost done
1, 2, 3, 4, I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE

We didn’t start the fire,
It was always burnin’
Since the world’s been turnin’
We didn’t start the fire,
Even though we’re gone,
It’ll still burn on
And on, and on, and on, and on!

We had to perform it in front of our class comment on it!

And I had to make a powerpoint presentation too with pictures, I might post it on here later...
