Fall Out Boy Release Updated Cover of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start The Fire"

Shortly after kicking off their So Much (For) Stardust tour, Fall Out Boy has dropped a cover of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start The Fire”. The track features updated lyrics, notating current events that have taken place from 1989 to now. In a statement on the social media, the band wrote the following:

“I thought about this song a lot when I was younger. All these important people and events- some that disappeared into the sands of time- others that changed the world forever. So much has happened in the span of the last 34 years- we felt like a little system update might be fun. Hope you like our take on it…”
