Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: William Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds
Snakes, an aeroplanes, Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn world
Serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs

Feed it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
Start to clatter with fear fight down height
Wire in a fire, representing seven games
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 playing! 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 dummy with the rapture
And the revered 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, and I feel fine

Six O'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate

Light a votive, light a candle, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh, oh, this means no fear cavalier
Renegade steer clear, a tournament, 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 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

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 book 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

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
