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      That's great, it starts with an earthquake   Birds, snakes, and aeroplanes   Lenny Bruce is not afraid      Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn   World serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs   Speed it up a notch speak, grunt, no strength   The ladder starts to clatter with dinner fight down height      Wire in a fire, representing southern gangs   A government for hire and a combat site   Lefty 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 food, but it'll do   Save yourself, serve yourself      World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat   Tell me that the reds are in the reverend in the right?   You patriotic, 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      Oh, 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, crush   This means no fear cavalier, renegade steer clear   A tournament, a 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      Oh, 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      And the other night I drifted nice, continental trip to find   Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein   Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs   Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom   You symbiotic, patriotic, slam foot neck, said 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
