I did ask Chat GPT to "write a new version of We Didn't Start the Fire," and it spit this out:
Antarctica, melting ice, climate change's deadly vice,
Greta Thunberg takes the stage, rallying for a world engaged,
Pandemic strikes, COVID's reign, global lockdown, lives in pain,
Vaccines bring a glimmer of hope, but variants make us cope.(Chorus)
We didn't start the fire, but it's burning brighter,
From crisis to crisis, in this world we're living,
Through the chaos and the pain, we'll rise again,
Together we'll ignite, a future shining bright.
(Verse 2)
Crypto rise, Bitcoin's high, blockchain changing the finance sky,
NFTs and digital art, a new era playing its part,
SpaceX launches to the stars, Mars colonization not too far,
Jeff Bezos, space tourism, a new frontier to consume.
(Chorus)
We didn't start the fire, but it's burning brighter,
From crisis to crisis, in this world we're living,
Through the chaos and the pain, we'll rise again,
Together we'll ignite, a future shining bright.
(Verse 3)
Black Lives Matter, racial fight, justice sought with all our might,
Protests for equality, breaking chains of history,
Women's rights, gender is fluid, voices rise, no longer muted,
LGBTQ+ love, acceptance, a world embracing difference.
(Chorus)
We didn't start the fire, but it's burning brighter,
From crisis to crisis, in this world we're living,
Through the chaos and the pain, we'll rise again,
Together we'll ignite, a future shining bright.
(Bridge)
Technological revolution, AI's grand evolution,
Automation, jobs at risk, reimagining our societal mix,
Renewable energy race, green solutions we embrace,
Education, innovation, building bridges for each nation.
(Verse 4)
Terror strikes, conflicts rise, seeking peace through compromise,
Refugees seeking a home, compassion shouldn't be overthrown,
Space exploration, mysteries unfold, seeking knowledge untold,
Scientific breakthroughs galore, unraveling the universe's core.
(Chorus)
We didn't start the fire, but it's burning brighter,
From crisis to crisis, in this world we're living,
Through the chaos and the pain, we'll rise again,
Together we'll ignite, a future shining bright.
(Outro)
In this ever-changing world, where challenges are hurled,
We'll face them hand in hand, united we will stand,
For the fire may keep on burning, but our spirit keeps on yearning,
To build a world that's just and free, a beacon of hope for you and me.
