Remember that old song, the one that goes *The world's been burning since the world's been turning" and then gives a ton of examples?
Yeah. It's pretty accurate
It's called "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel
And it only covers a period of 51 years (1948-1989).
Fun fact. Fall Out Boy did a cover with updated events and it goes pretty hard
Fantastic. Hadn't heard it before.

What do you mean "old"...
... well shit. I'm old.
It's from 1989, even in 2015 it was old
Fuck off!
It was just a few years ago at most...
/s just in case. In 1989 I was 17...
Just a few years ago...
