That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs, don't miserve your own needs
speed it up a notch, speak, grunt, no strength
The ladder start to clatter with fear of height, down height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
And a government for hire at a combat site
Left her wasn't 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 group
But it'll do to save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
tell me with a rapture and the reverend 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, 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 T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return. listen to yourself churn
Lock it in, uniforming, book burning, bloodletting
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 and 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 fee 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 Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, bug net, 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

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, fine
