[Originally by R.E.M]



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, dont misserve your own needs. Feed

It off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength,turn, ladder

Start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire

In a fire, representing seven games, in a government

For hire and a combat site. Left of west and 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 and 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

Towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself

Churn. Locking in, uniforming,and book burning, blood

Letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate

Light a candle, light a motive. 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 and 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 and 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 and 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)
