Lyrics

(Written by berry / buck / mills / stipe)
Originally performed by 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, snakes, and aeroplanes
Yeah, lenny bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder starts to clatter with dinner fight down height
Wire in a fire, representing southern gangs
A government for hire and a combat site

Lefty 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 food, but it'll do
Save yourself, serve yourself. world serves its own needs
Listen to your heart beat
Tell me that the reds are in the reverend in the right?
You patriotic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched

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, and I feel fine

Oh, six o'clock - tv hour. don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Locking in, uniforming, book-burning, blood-letting
Every motive escalate. automotive incinerate
Light a votive, light a candle. step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh-oh
This means no fear cavalier. renegade steer clear!
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

Chorus (x2)

The other night I drifted nice, continental trip to find
Mountains sit in a line, leonard bernstein. leonid brezhnev
Lenny bruce and lester bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam foot neck, said right

Chorus (x2)
