this song / attitude / philosohy etc make me sad, perhaps there was a fire when you were born, but it constantly hungers for more, and feeding it will get us nothing but burnt.

"We didn't light it but we tried to fight it"
I dunno man I feel like the song might actually agree with you
I always thought the song was the opposite. It says „We didn't start it it was always like this“ and continues to listen events during their lifetime that were not already always in motion.
I always interpreted the song as saying „This is how it's always been and we can't change it is a lazy excuse for not trying to change anything.“
Exactly how I interpreted it the second time listening to it, many, many years ago.
Why are there so many twos though?
I changed em to 3s for you :)
Yeah but we didn't put it out, either.
"no we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it"

'Cause Jesus. He knows me and He knows I'm right I've been talking to Jesus all my life Oh yes, He knows me and He knows I'm right Well, he's been telling me everything is alright
"Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil. Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world. So there was only one thing that I could do, Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long"
The heart of rock and roll is still beatin'.
In Cleveland.
Or as the Tiger Lillies sang: „It makes me quiet sad, to watch young people dance,
they could burn the discotheque, they’ve got every chance!
Start a fire, start a fire, start a fire today!
False, we know who the firestarter (twisted firestarter) is.
The Roof. The Roof. The Roof is on Fire.
"I'm the fiyastata, twisted fiyastata"
