Its The End Of The World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)
(berry/buck/mills/stipe)
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
Snakes, an aeroplane & lenny bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
Serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. feed
It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height. wire
In a fire, representing seven games, a government
For hire & a combat site. left of west & coming in
A hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. team
By team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low playing! fine, then. uh oh,
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. save
Yourself, serve yourself. world serves its own needs,
Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
The revered & the right, right. you vitriolic,
Patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
Psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it & i feel fine
Six o'clock - tv hour. don't get caught in foreign
Towers. slash & burn, return, listen to yourself
Churn. locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
Letting. every motive escalate. automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive. step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
Fear cavalier. renegade steer clear! a tournament,
Tournament, a tournament of lies. offer me solutions,
Offer me alternatives & i decline
(chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it & i feel fine (it's time i had some time alone)
I feel fine
(repeat chorus)
The other night i dreamt of knives, continental
Drift divide. mountains sit in a line, leonard
Bernstein. leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce & lester
Bangs. birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! you
Symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? right
(repeat chorus)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it & i feel fine (it's time i had some time alone)
(repeat chorus 2x)
Fine
It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time i had some time alone)
