We didn't start the fire

Answer 1

"We Didn't Start the Fire" is a song by Billy Joel that lists historical events, cultural references, and notable figures from the years of his birth in 1949 to 1989. The song emphasizes the idea that these events were part of an ongoing cycle of history, suggesting that each generation inherits the challenges and issues of the past. The catchy refrain highlights a sense of inevitability, asserting that the fire of societal turmoil and change has always existed, and it is not solely the responsibility of the current generation.
