In retrospect, I think it's time to question Billy Joel's claim that his generation didn't start the fire.
Fall Out Boy has redone the song with more up to date lyrics. It’s not doing nearly as well as the Billy Joel original which went to Number 1, and never will.
As bad musically as Rich Men North of Richmond, a recent Number 1 song is, it’s lyrics are much more reflective of the current state of affairs in this pseudo shithole country.
