Desert Storm, Rodney King,
Grunge rock, Cobain sings,

OJ’s chase on live TV.
Y2K, Clinton lied,
Columbine, Biggie died,
Beavis, Butthead, Pokémon,
Titanic sinks, dot-com’s gone.

Yeah, we’re still in the fire
And it’s getting hotter, while we scream and watch it

🔥 Verse 2: 2000–2009
Bush wins, hanging chads,
9/11, homeland mad,

Color codes, war everywhere.
iPod, MySpace, Facebook rise,
Hurricane Katrina cries,
Housing crash, recession hits,
Bailouts, lies, and hypocrites.

Try to put it out, but the flames climb higher
Yeah, we’re still in the fire
Now the planet’s burning and the truth’s a liar

Posting thoughts and prayers while the world gets darker

🔥 Verse 4: 2020–2025
COVID hits, lockdowns start,
Toilet paper, broken hearts,

No Kings, deep fakes,
Elon builds a fucking X-space.

We’re still in the fire
Can’t find the exit, there’s no messiah
Yeah, we’re still in the fire
Doomscroll breakfast, outrage supplier
We’re still in the fire
Scream into the feed like a live town crier
Yeah, we’re still in the fire
So we wrote this song ‘cause the planet’s tired
⸻
🔥 Outro (Spoken)
“Anyway… that’s what happened.
We didn’t start it.
But damn… we’re sure fanning it.”
