Your baby's going out But she doesn't want to go with you When the beat is loud Then she wants to dance with someone new She moves with the disco nation But you shouldn't lay the blame Don't point your hand in our direction You shouldn't play the saint We always rocked your party We didn't start the fire It was always burning Since the world's been turning No we didn't start the fire No we didn't light it But we tried to fight it Oo-aa, oo-aa Oo-aa, oo-aa When your baby's on the move Don't you blame it on the melody It's just another groove Being laid out for the dancing feet By this Alcazar DJ So you should lay the blame We didn't start the fire Everybody's dreaming Everybody's screaming Everybody's steaming On the night train, night train Everybody's swaying Everybody's yeahing Everybody's playing On the love game, love game You should lay the blame (We didn't start the fire) We didn't start the fire We didn't start the fire We didn't start the fire
