It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) Lyrics 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 don’t misserve your own needs
    speed it up a notch speed grunt no strength
    the ladder starts to clatter with fear of height 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 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
    tell me with the rapture and the reverent 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
    it’s the end of the world as we know it
    it’s the
    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 uhoh
    this means no fear cavalier renegade and steering 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 boom
    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 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 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 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
