In other news: Lyrics to Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire"

I always knew that it was a big string of references from a whole buncha years though I never did know why he said "Trouble in the SEWERS!!!" That confused me.

Oh yeah, and it's "trouble in the Suez", not "Sewers." What? I thought there were rat problems or something...
