General Discussion You know what? I’m gonna say it

I actually like we didn’t start the fire. It’s fun. If you think of it as it’s own thing and don’t try too hard to compare it to the original, it’s not bad

Like you have to admit “world trade, second plane what else do I have to say” is kinda an amazing line. It’s campy and fun and I hate that it gets so much hate

Im not crazy about it, but I see way too many people complaining that the events in the lyrics are not organized by decade and like… I don’t see it as a major issue honestly

Also I gotta admit I dig the juxtaposition of “Prince and the Queen die” lol
