[Verse 1]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an airplane
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 comin' in a hurry
With the Furies breathin' 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, 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
Feelin' pretty psyched
[Verse 2]
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's the end)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It's the end)
It's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine
[Verse 3]
Six o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in, uniforming, book burnin', blood letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive
Step down, step down
Watch your heel, crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier renegade and steerin' clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline
[Verse 4]
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)
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)
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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)
