Remember the song 'We Didnt Start The Fire' by Billy Joel - Its lyrics shed light on alot of the scandals and corruption of that era. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with a modern line for the song relating to the most recent ongoings, i'll start....

A little fun, because lets be honest, if we didnt laugh we'd cry. Mine aren't great, i'm sure someone will come up with much better ones, but here they are anyway!...

9/11, Building 7 - Waco and the Armageddon.

False Flags, Global fear - Media lies right to your ear.

War with russia, Wikileaks - Rocket man has chubby cheeks

LoL I love this, but suck at it!! Excuse me while I crack a beer for creativity sakes and think on it.

And edit to come...

every song that has ever existed or will ever exist already exists within you

all you have to do to realize your innate music is stop trying to force it, and instead allow yourself to become a channel to another dimention

what you think, you become

if you want to know the truth, simply let go of your own view

The second half of that song is amazing. The first half is awesome, too, but the second half is so uplifting.

Left, right, at their throats,

polyplastic pet goats,

everybody one mind,

never really on a side,

–

Shock, bang, one more,

How many more have to go,

Never-ending psych war,

Terror on the radio,

–

We didn't start the fire ...

Sorta ironic that you that you completly ignored Billy Joels intentions for the song ^

1 WHOOP1N 2018-04-21

Yeah, we should look outside our Disneyland to witness our governments affect on others - can't stop what you can't/won't see.

1 remotehypnotist 2018-04-21
