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 and aeroplanes
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Dummy serve your own needs
Feed it off an aux, speak grunt no street burn
Ladder, structure clatter with fear of 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 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 rapture and the reverent 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
Lock him in, uniform and book burning, blood letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watchin' 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
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
I feel fine, I feel fine
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
And I feel fine
The other night I dreamt of knives, continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam buck neck, right?
Right
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 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 the end of the world as we know it (Time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (Time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (Time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
I feel fine
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Dummy serve your own needs
Feed it off an aux, speak grunt no street burn

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