We didn’t start the fire
Football’s always burning since our world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it, but we cannot fight it

Every home, schlep away, what else do we have to say?

We didn’t start the fire
Football’s always burning since our world’s been turning
We didn’t start the fire
No we didn’t light it, but we cannot fight it
