We Didn’t Start The Fire - Billy Joel

It would be remiss of me not to add this a masterpiece of a song. I remember as a late teen being blown away by the lyrics of this song and the story it told

Deer Dance - System Of A Down



https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1xD2It...1hdGljcw%3D%3D


Circumventing circuses lamenting in protest
To visible police, presence sponsored fear
Battalions of riot police with rubber bullet kisses
Baton courtesy, service with a smile
Beyond the Staples Center you can see America
With its tired, poor, avenging disgrace
Peaceful, loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
A rush of words, pleading to disperse
Upon your naked walls, alive
A political call, the fall guy accord
We can't afford to be neutral on a moving train
Beyond the Staples Center you can see America
With its tired, poor, avenging disgrace
Peaceful, loving youth against the brutality
Of plastic existence
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
With their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push them around
A deer dance, invitation to peace
War staring you in the face, dressed in black
With a helmet, fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents
For the disproportioned malcontents
A little boy smiled, it'll all be well
And say a little boy smiled, it'll all be well
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Pushing little children with their fully automatics
They like to push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around

Very topical lyrics sounds like Victoria during the Covid panic.
