This was starting to sound like the next rendition of "we didn't start the fire"

As the Fall Out Boy version of it says...

We didn't start the fire

It was always burning since the world's been turning

We didn't start the fire

No, we didn't light it but we're trying to fight it

I totally thought those were the lyrics in the original until now

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Nope! They're different on purpose, symbolizing that Fall Out Boy still has hope for the future. My GOATs.

You could probably do a 21st century cover. Enough random crap has happened over the last 25 years that there's probably more than enough content.

Fall Out Boy already did it back in 2023! And yes, it's awesome. And they alter a bit of the lyrics of the chorus to give it a more hopeful tone!

I like how California has a proposition thing and Texas politicians just do it. Just kidding, I don't like that.

I like that it make republicans seem less legitimate, they do dictator shit while California has to ask for permission, making California's response look much more legitimate.

[–] miked@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget California's response has a built in timer.
