We here at Royals Review are always on the cutting edge of the hippest music. Billy Joel, who is apparently a huge Royals fan, has written a re-make of his 1989 hit "We Didn't Start the Fire" to capture his frustration with his favorite baseball team. He has graciously allowed us to print the new lyrics, as Royals Review is his favorite site to lurk on.
When not putting other motorists at harm, Billy Joel is actually a successful singer-songwriter. (via upload.wikimedia.org)
