It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 its own needs, don't misserve your own needs Feed it off an aux, speak, grunt, no strength The ladders start to clatter with fear, fight down height Wire in a fire, representing seven games And a government for hire and a combat site Left her and wasn't coming in a hurry with the Furies Breathing down your neck Team by team, reporters baffled, trump, tethered, crop 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 bleed Dummy with the raptured and the revered and the right, right You vitriolic, 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 [Verse 2] 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, blood letting Every motive escalate, automotive cinerate 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, a tournament, a tournament of lies Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives And 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 (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine (I feel fine) [Instrumental Break] [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 (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine [Verse 3] The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck Right? Right [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 (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine [Bridge] 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 [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 (It's time I had some time alone) And I feel fine [Outro] 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
