It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

Lyrics

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, don't misserve your own needs
 Feed it off an aux, speak, grunt, no, strength
 The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down, height
 Wire in a fire, representing seven games
 And 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 in 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 tower
 Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
 Lock him in uniform, book burning, blood letting
 Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
 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
 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)
 ♪
 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
 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, vermouth
 You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck
 Right? Right
 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

 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)
