PROJECT: We Didn't Start The IT!

OK, just saw a Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire" Youtube parody, and thought.... isn't it about time the Indoctrination Theory got one of these?

With the material, hints, quotes and everything that's been gathered and gleaned over the last twelve months, we must have more than enough material now to do an IT version.

I'm going to start thinking about it over the next few days, toy around with it a bit and see if I can come up with some fitting lyrics. If anyone's got any suggestions or wants to weigh in, feel free!

We Didn't Start The Fire (Billy Joel)

Lyrics:

Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnny Ray
South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio

Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television
North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe

Rosenbergs, H Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom
Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye

Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen
Maciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Joseph Stalin, Malenkov, Nasser and Prokofiev
Rockefeller, Campanella, Communist Bloc

Roy Cohn, Juan Peron, Toscanini, Dancron
Dien Bien Phu Falls, Rock Around the Clock

Einstein, James Dean, Brooklyn's got a winning team
Davy Crockett, Peter Pan, Elvis Presley, Disneyland

Bardot, Budapest, Alabama, Khrushchev
Princess Grace, Peyton Place, Trouble in the Suez

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Kerouac
Sputnik, Chou En-Lai, Bridge On The River Kwai

Lebanon, Charles de Gaulle, California baseball

Buddy Holly, Ben Hur, Space Monkey, Mafia

U2, Syngman Rhee, payola and Kennedy
Chubby Checker, Psycho, Belgians in the Congo

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Hemingway, Eichman, Stranger in a Strange Land
Dylan, Berlin, Bay of Pigs invasion

Lawrence of Arabia, British Beatlemania
Ole Miss, John Glenn, Liston beats Patterson

Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British Politician sex
J.F.K. blown away, what else do I have to say

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again
Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock
Begin, Reagan, Palestine, Terror on the airline
Ayatollah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan

Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide
Foreign debts, homeless Vets, AIDS, Crack, Bernie Goetz
Hypodermics on the shores, China's under martial law
Rock and Roller cola wars, I can't take it anymore

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

We didn't start the Cycle
It keeps on occuring
as our worlds are burning
We didn't start the Cycle
No we didn't start it
But we have to fight it

Are those the lyrics of that song that plays in the apartment?

EDIT: Yes, apparently. Awesome!

Oh. My. God. This needs to be stickied. Dork, keep being awesome.

i'll try pop back in here tomorrow. see if i can't come up with something a little more 'daring' (hide Bioware.......hide!!)

Begins on Earth, Out of the blue, Reapers attack, we’re all doomed
Shep escapes, Vancovers burning, Anderson Shock.

Ashley Williams, Kaidan Alenko, whichever survived Virmire,
Anderson coordinates humankind, Tick of the clock.

Shepard battles Cerberus, Liara T'Soni WTF?
Superweapon, TIM appears, what a shit stain .


heading for the Citadel, Shepards gets a blue screen
The Crucible, Giant Dildo , Hacketts off his block again.

We didn't start the Cycle
IT keeps on living
as our worlds are burning
We didn't start the Cycle
No we didn't start it
But we will embrace IT

turian homeworld, war summit, turian
Bloodbath, reaper forces, genophage crock.

Urdnot Wrex, takes no shit, it’s a cure? It’s a trick?
quarians have declared war, time to take stock,

ancestral homeworld of Rannoch, Shepard boards a dreadnought
Tali'Zorah, she’s so sweet, looks of a beauty queen,

Reaper code to the geth, Legion, moar geth
Fight our way, gravity, put it on the viewscreen

We didn't start the Cycle
IT keeps on living
as our worlds are burning
We didn't start the Cycle
No we didn't start it
But we will embrace IT

Catalyst, Starbrat, what the fucking hell is that?
Citadel is the Catalyst. position in Earth's orbit


Kai Leng, Ninja dude, should have gone to specsavers,
Ninja nerd , gunfight, what a total prat.

Now on earth, to the beam, purpose unseen
Time to charge, headless chickens, who thought up this crap?

What the fuck, hit by beam, am I now in a dream?,
Got a gun, shoot to kill , Maruader shields, tries to kill..

We didn't start the Cycle
IT keeps on living

No we didn't start it
But we will embrace IT

Wot he said. Do be careful with the internet though.

Amazing efforts Dork!

Sorry I'm late to my own party; I started working on it, but got sidetracked...

Oily shadows haunt my dreams
What the hell is with these trees?
All the paths they only lead
To the creepy kid that smiles at me

Take back Earth, yeah that's a laugh
Harbinger's blocking my path
There's no way to match the power he wields
But he leaves it to Marauder Shields

Oh what fun we had
But Star Brat's logic sounds so mad
It makes no sense to me
Without the twist that is I.T.

Oh what fun we had
But the ending choices suck so bad
There something we've all missed
Shepard's quest can't end like this

Warning signs were everwhere
Vent Boys ride shot out the air
I saw the kid get blown to bits
So who the f**king hell is this?

Asking me red, blue or green
Nothing is quite what it seems
Somehow I don't think I'll choose
I'm simply going to shoot this tube

Oh what fun we had
But Star Brat's logic sounds so mad
It makes no sense to me
Without the twist that is I.T.

Oh what fun we had
But the ending choices suck so bad
There something we've all missed
Shepard's quest can't end like this

It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination
It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination
It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination
It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination
It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination
It's indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination

To all that have let their creativity flow with awesomeness...thank you!

To: jealous guy – by john lennon

I was grieving in the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to hate control
Bioware I hate control

I didn't mean to spam you
It’s just that Synthesis made me cry
Oh no, I didn't want to spam you
I'm just an IT guy

I was feeling insecure
Not seeing Shepard anymore
I was shivering inside
I was all angry inside

I didn't mean to spam you
It’s just that Synthesis made me cry
Oh no, I didn't want to spam you
I'm just an IT guy

I didn't mean to spam you
It’s just that Synthesis made me cry
Oh no, I didn't want to spam you
I'm just an IT guy

I was trying not to despise
In the rubble trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was breathing in again

I didn't mean to spam you
It’s just that Synthesis is a crime.
Yes I did want to spam you
I'm just an IT guy

Synthesis lover says go way I’m busy, too busy to come to the phone
Synthesis lover says I’m busy tryin', tryin to merge life into one
Synthesis lover says I’m just so happy so why don't you leave me alone
And the Universe says don’t do it or you will regret it.

Please Synthesis lover, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep Sylvia a while
Synthesis lover, I just wanna tell her goodbye

Synthesis lover says Sylvia's packin' she's gonna be improved' today
Synthesis lover says Sylvia's travellin' way down Sanctuary way
Synthesis lover says please don't say nothin' to make her start cryin' and stay
And the Universe says don’t do it or you will regret it

Synthesis lover, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep her a while
Synthesis lover, I just wanna tell her goodbye

Synthesis lover says Sylvia's cryin', she's trapped in a pod and in pain
Synthesis lover says watch out big fella, cause Sylvie, she’s starting to drain
And Synthesis lover says thank you for callin' and sir don't you call back again
And the Universe says don’t do it or you will regret it

Synthesis lover, I just gotta talk to her,
I'll only keep her a while
Synthesis lover, I just wanna tell her goodbye

Tell her goodbye...
Please... tell her goodbye..

Schluuuurrrrppp. SCHLUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRPPPPP!!!

Destroy every reaper here today
Destroy them this way
Anyone that may desert you
So they cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who's undermined you
I’ll Destroy everything you are today
I Choose destroy, win this way

Everything you are you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
Smite your hand
Take your gun
Fly you right into the sun

Everything you synthesise ain’t real
Do not know what you feel
I’ll Destroy everything you are today
I Choose destroy, win this way

Destroy every reaper here today
Destroy them this way
Anyone that may desert you
So they cannot hurt you

You only have to look behind you
At who's trying to kill you
I’ll Destroy everything you are today
I Choose destroy, win this way

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you feel
Smite your hand
Take your gun
Fly you right into the sun

What you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you steal
I’ll Destroy everything you are today
I Choose destroy, win this way

Everything you synthesise ain’t real
Do not know what you steal
Smite your hand
Take your gun
Fly you right into the sun

Destroy every reaper here today
Destroy them this way
Anyone that may desert you
So they cannot hurt you

Everything you touch you don't feel
Do not know what you feel
Smite your hand
Take your gun
Fly you right into the sun

Everything you synthesise ain’t real
Do not know what you steal
I’ll Destroy everything you are today
I Choose destroy, win this way

I love you guys

Depeche mode - fly on the windscreen - variation of lyrics.

Death is everywhere
There are reapers on the viewscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be blown apart
Tonight

Death is everywhere
We are here for the slaughter
Waiting to die
And I can sense
Indoctrinations pry...
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
crush me
mince me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
slush me
mince me
Now

Death is everywhere
The more I look
The more I see
The more I feel
Stay away from Sanctuary
Tonight

Come here
Kiss me
crush me
mince me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
slush me
mince me
Now

There are Reapers on the viewscreen
There are races for the slaughter
There are Reapers on the viewscreen

Come here
Kiss me
crush me
mince me
Now
Come here
Kiss me
slush me
mince me
Now

Shut up and choose, you don't know what you're thinking about
You’re not the one, you ought to know that by now
You've got one of those hearts that keeps changing your mind
Your heart has a way of making you stray, so shut up and choose

Don't look at the starjar, he might have that look in his eyes
The one that's so evil it strangles your will to survive
He's mastered the art of telling lies.
His lies have a way of making you stray, just come back alive.

He’s the voice you must listen to
And I had to break his hold on you to make you see
That he's the one who will be killing you
And you'll accept this willingly.
Did he just threaten to kill EDI?

Turn the crudible on to drown out the stench of goodbye
Blink back the tears show me you've still got your pride
Just get yourself lost in indoctrination.
Those mind games that they play, know just what to say, turn the crudible on

He’s the voice you must listen to
And I had to break his hold on you to make you see
That he's the one who will be killing you
And you'll really miss your mind
Did he just threaten to kill EDI?

Just survive, don't look at the starjar
Turn the crudible on, get out of here

Please just survive
You have to survive
Just be alive.
