US History project: we didnt start the fire vietnam protest

I absolutely hate my singing in this. ESPECIALLY AROUND THE CHORUS. OTL

Lyrics:

France invade with Bao Dai
Dien Bien Phu goes bye bye
Geneva Accords
Divides into south-north
Ngo Dinh Diem assassination
Gulf of Tonkin resolution
Pleiku is attacked
Rolling thunder, we fight back

Tax for war, Johnson gets
Vietcong leads offense on Tet
Protest war at the convention
Kissingers negotiations
We destroy Cambodi base
Guards shoot students at Kent State
Papers of Pentagon
Hanoi gets Christmas bombs

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it

Affirmative action
Vietnamization
Title IX for schools
Greenies gainst the fossil fuels
Talk about bilingualism
Contain communism
Feminine Mystique
Communes full of hippies

Feminists for equal pay
Doves think war is not OK
Hawks want war in Vietnam
Bomb it down with napalm
Hayden wrote Port Huron
Fighting gainst the Vietcong
My Lai massacre
Smog is what Im breathing here

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it

Scandal at the Watergate
Saigon ditched by nited States
Cesar Chavez, grape boycott
Lets go rock at Woodstock
Students fight for free speech
Clean up birds at dirty beach
Civil rights for the blacks
Natives do the ghost dance

Theory using dominoes
Abortion from Wade v Roe
Unsafe at Any Speed
DDT, we dont need
La Raza Unida
Project Venona
Three mile, system fail
McCarthy makes me wanna yell

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it

Toxic under Love Canal
Government is not our pal
Takeover of Wounded Knee
Like 1890 tragedy
Issues discussed in teach-ins
Communist is Ho Chi Minh
Bakke for busing, monks are burning
US troops, theyve gone missing!

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it

Brown vs BOE
Overturn Plessy
Poll tax is a no
18 voting is a go
Beatles, Elvis
Cuban missile crisis
Sputnik I, JFK
Communists in USA!

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
But when we are gone
Will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on...

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it

We didnt start the fire
It was always burning
Since the worlds been turning
We didnt start the fire
No we didnt light it
But we tried to fight it
