Taking on We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel without making it a list parody is not easy.

Story behind the song
This parody of the famous epic Billy Joel hit "We Didn't Start the Fire" kicks off my new releases for September 2010, this one is never before recorded, and is debuting here on the FUMP and yeah I know this song is commonly turned into a list parody, that's why I did not do that, 'cause to me this was more of a challenge turning a list song into a non-list parody.
Lyrics
I know I can't stay in this damn bed all day Feel horrific, Eyes are twitching, Man I'm moving slow Coffee's starting, big decision, Sick I'll fake, I envision Bad idea 'cause Maria will fire me though It's occurred, stay calm, Red Bull waits, Swallow some Great, shower cold as ice, Brushing my teeth on the fly One half hour, I'm clean, I am sick of this routine Gotta jet though, grabbing my keys and my good neck tie Getting down to the wire Yes, The clock is ticking To the gas I'm sticking Getting down to the wire I don't feel right yet I'm not awake quite yet Cars are stalling so I moan, Crawling in the damn fast zone C'mon mister, getting blisters, Not wearing sun block Move along hearing songs, hope we aren't blocked too long Peeling, squealing, Boss calls, she's stuck down the block Prime Time for me to be as late as I can be Hope that I do not get canned, Hope the D.M. understands Straight ahead, Great at last, Gotta open it up fast Or I'll face some mean face, Hear how I'll be replaced Now things are really dire My stomach is turning For more time I'm yearning Hope I do not expire Though I do not like it Can't afford to spike it What a shock, beat the clock, Now the doors shall be unlocked Looking on up at the sky, Sun is shining really bright Through the shift I crawl, Though I really want to fall My eyes aren't opened wide, I feel like my mind is fried Oo-ooh I'm feeling really sore, Think I need the doctor Gotta go, but no, "We're too busy" says Joe So I beg and plead, I got down on my knees Just look at me now bro, I look like a big toad He thinks I am a liar No his heart ain't bleeding From the words I'm feeding Think my head is on fire He don't want to hear it Said "Advil will clear it" Hey What a day it's been, Feeling better than I'd been My grins within, 'cause the clock is tickin' Time to go and party y'all, Party at a big Pool Hall It's At night I cringe, I went on a Nacho binge Complex subject, What I do with my checks though I was through Though I was up all day, Gotta earn my meager pay One day I will retire But from now until then Keep hanging with my friends No wonder I'm so tired I'm always up all night and I'll never right it Oh no not again, What a short night it has been Tick Tock-Damn Clock, Forgot to put on my socks Head spins, No Grins, Hear me whine, no time to dine Before my day's began, Already have evening plans Gotta go to work I sigh, Button up and grab that tie Breaking sweat as I jet, Hope I'm not late yet Speeding to get to the store, Don't want to hear the boss roar Get there to count out the drawers, Man this story is a bore Getting down to the wire Yes the clock is ticking And my @$$ it's kickin' Getting down to the wire But live just goes on, it will still go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on This is what life requires Gotta earn a living Take what they are giving It's not what we desire If you do not like it They'll say "Take a hike kid" Getting down to the wire Yes the clock is ticking And my @$$ it's kickin' Getting down to the wire
