But we tried to fight it

The Word 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...

(I've only managed 2 verses, please feel free to add the others)

I'm afraid that would involve

me leaving the house and meeting new people. Nice thought though.
