We Didn’t Start the Fire (repurposed lyrics)

By JAMES GROB

20 seconds, hands clean.
Influenza’s not so mean.
Call off plans for Disneyland.
Cancel Broadway shows.

Mike Pence calls the shots.
China was the starting spot.
South Korea. Baseball season?
The opener’s no-go.

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.
---

Wipe with Lysol, mask your face
Don’t come over to my place.
Old dudes on pleasure cruises
Quarantined for months.

Testing kits in high demand.
Massive graves seen in Iran.
At least that bastard Weinstein
Is gonna be locked up.

---
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.
---
Dow Jones drops like a brick, no March Madness, you’re too sick.
Donnie's lying like a rug, about the Coronavirus bug.

Tom Hanks got it, no NASCAR, Italy’s locked in a jar.
Toilet paper, hand spray, you don’t get no sick pay!
---
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
But when we are gone, will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on …
