R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World

 

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 needsFeed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength, no

Ladder, structure clatter with fear of height, down height

Wire in a fire, represent the seven games

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 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 end of the world as we know it

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel fineSix 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 incinerateLight a candle, light a motive, step down, step down

Watch a heel crush, crush, uh oh, this means no fear

Cavalier, renegade and steer clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I declineIt'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 feel fine
