You there's definitely been a couple songs where I'll watch the lyrics come up and be like, that's what they've been saying the whole time? I thought I knew [Billy Joel's] "We Didn't Start the Fire" and then I looked at the lyrics and realized I had at least three or four of the entries about the 1950s wrong. And for 20 years, I'd thought the chorus to David Bowie's "Young Americans" was "She was a young...
