Didn't Spark the Chaos

Billy Joel, '89, Berlin Wall, decline
Gulf War, Mandela free, Tiananmen Square tragedy
Internet, dot-com boom, World Trade Center's doom
Clinton, Lewinsky, genocide Rwanda

We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it

Euro, Y2K, Putin in the Kremlin's sway
9/11, terror fight, war in Afghanistan
Hurricane Katrina strikes, Facebook, Twitter spike
Obama, climate change, and the housing crash

We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it

Arab Spring, WikiLeaks, North Korea's missile streak
Syria, refugees, Brexit it's history
COVID pandemic fear, vaccines in a year
BLM, MeToo, world in a different view

We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it

Trump and Biden, polarize, January 6th arise
Ukraine, Russian war, climate crisis more and more
AI, tech advance, Mars rover, space dance
Gender rights, energy fight, inflation in our future's sight

We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it

Billy Joel, set the tone, chronicled the world's unknown
We didn't start the song here
But its echoes fill us, giving hope and solace

We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it
We didn't spark the chaos
But we're left to face it, try to navigate it
We didn't spark the chaos
Still, we have to bear it, find a way to share it
