- I sat in front of speakers for seven hours one night pressing rewind over
- and over in order to be able to sing this song word for word. Last week,
- my friend sends me a copy of the exact same lyrics that it took him seven
- seconds to download. Oh well... either way, here are th correct lyrics
- to "Its The End of the World As We Know it (and I Feel Fine."
-
-
- 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 up a
- knock,
- speed, grunt no, strength no. Ladder structure clatter with fear--fight
- down hype. Wire in a fire, representatives engage in a government for
- hire and a combat site. Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry with the furies
- breathing down your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered
- crop. 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 is the rapture in 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.
- 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 and book burning,
- blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a
- candle,
- light a votive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
- this means no fear - cavalier. Renegades steer clear! A tournament,
- a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me
- alternatives
- and I decline.
-
- [Note: A tournament of lies is one interpretation... another common one is
- 'I'll turn 'em in, I'll turn 'em in, I'll turn 'em in in a flash.']
-
- 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, a nice continental drift divide. Mount St.
- Edelite. Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, 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 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...
-
- knowing these words makes the world go around and eventually blow up...
- this is not a happy bouncy song.
-
- lots of rain,
