He says we didn't start the fire, like it's about problems we inherited, confirmed in that meaning when he says WE TRIED TO FIGHT IT.
Then he starts just listing anything or anyone, good or bad that will rhyme or fit into the rhythm. It's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS TO SAY TO TRIED TO FIGHT:
Doris Day, Johny Ray, Joe DiMaggio, Studebaker, Television, South Korea, Sugar Ray, The King and I, Brando, Liberace, Toscanini, Chubby Checker, U2!! And on and on with this ridiculous song!!!!!!!!!!! It is the stupidest piece of crap ever and people just seem to ignore how pathetically dumb it is. Why???????? What the hell is wrong with Rock Around the Clock????? Eintstein???? Brooklyn having a winning team????????????????????????????? I have to say -- I'm close to truly hating anyone who likes this song...but I won't go that far. Just WAKE UP and realize how awful this is. It's even worse that so many people love it. Billy Joel indiscriminately listing all these great things that are part of our culture, our lives, MY LIFE!!! Oh, if only one person would agree i could relax. LOL
Below are lyrics for your review.
Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio
Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe
Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye
Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen
Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye
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
Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc
Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dacron
Dien Bien Phu Falls, Rock Around the Clock
Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland
Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev
Princess Grace, Peyton Place, Trouble in the Suez
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
Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Kerouac
Sputnik, Chou En-Lai, Bridge On The River Kwai
Lebanon, Charles de Gaulle, California baseball
Starkweather, Homicide, Children of Thalidomide...
Buddy Holly, Ben-Hur, Space Monkey, Mafia
Hula Hoops, Castro, Edsel is a no-go
U-2, Syngman Rhee, payola and Kennedy
Chubby Checker, Psycho, Belgians in the Congo
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
