Lyrics

[Intro] We're gonna do one more song and then we're - off into the night I hope all of you sleep really good tonight I hope you sleep sweet dreams I hope each and every one of you grabs somebody and gives them a big-ass, American hug Or, it can be- okay, if you wanna give them a big-ass- whatever-you're-from hug, then- just fucking do it Because this is now And now is here And here is where you are And it's all. real. good Take it, from there Here we go [Verse 1] That's great! It starts with an earthquake Birds and snakes and aeroplanes Lenny Bruce is not afraid Eye of a hurricane Listen to yourself churn World serves its own needs Don't misserve your own needs Speed it up a nock, speed, grunt, no, strength Then the ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height Wire in a fire representing seven games The government for hire in a combat site Left of west and coming with 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 its own needs Listen to your heart bleed Tell me with the rapture and the reverend in the right, right You patriotic, patriotic, slam foot neck 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 a foreign tower Slash and burn, return Listen to yourself churn Walking in uniform with foot burning Blood letting every motive escalate Automotive incinerate Light a candle, light a motive Step down, step down Watch and 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, and offer me alternatives And I decline [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! (I feel fine…) Fine! Fine! Fine, fine, fine fi-fi-fi-fine 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! And I feel fine! [Verse 3] The other night I dreamt of knives Continental drift divide Mountains sitting in a line Leonard Bernstein Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic, slam foot neck Right? (Right!) [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! Fine, 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… And I feel fine! It's time I had some time alone! It's time I had some time alone! It's time I had some time alone! (And I feel-) Fine! Fine! Fiiiiiiiine! It's time I had some time alone It's time I had some time alone It's time I had some time alone (And I feel fine) Fine! (Fine!) Whadda you think? 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 How do you feel? (Fine!) What? (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 And I feel fine! How do you feel? (Fine!) How do you feel? (Fine!) Ah, what? (Fine!) I feel fine! Fine! Fine! It's the end of the world as we know it! And I! Feel! (Fine!) And I feel… (fine…) [Outro] Thank you, good night Take care, and we'll see you again Alright, thank you, Glastonbury, we missed ya!
