It‘s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)

R.E.M. - „It‘s the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)“

That's great, it starts with an earthquake

Birds and snakes, an aeroplane

And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

 

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

World serves it's own needs, don't misserve your own needs

Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength

The ladder starts to clatter with a fear of height, down, height

 

Wire in a fire, represent the seven games

And a government for hire and a combat site

Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies

Breathing down your neck

 

Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped

Look at that low plane, fine, then

Uh-oh, overflow, population, common group

But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself

 

World serves it's own needs, listen to your heart bleed

Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in 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

And I feel fine

 

Six o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn

Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting

Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate

 

Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down

Watch your heel crush, crush, uh-oh

This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline

 

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 had some time alone)

And I feel fine

(I feel fine)

 

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 (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

The other night I dreamt a nice continental drift divide

Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein

Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs

Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom

You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right

 

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 (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

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 (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

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 (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

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 (it's time I had some time alone)

And I feel fine

 

It's the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
