Chim-chiminy
Chim-chim-cheroo
The Hoosiers are here to play for you

Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again
Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock
Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline
Ayatollahs in Iran, we are in Afghanistan

Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania
Ole Miss John Glenn, Liston beats Patterson
Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex
JFK blown away, what else do I have to say?

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the worlds been turning
We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone, will it still burn on?
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and ooh

Bullseye, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide
Foreign debts, homeless vets, AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shore, China's under martial law
Rock and roller cola wars, I can't take it anymore
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

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
But when we are gone, will it still burn on?
And on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on, and ooh
