REM – It’s the End of the World As We Know It

scritto da admin

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 of height, down height
Wire in a fire, representing 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 reverend 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
Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive
Step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush
Uh-oh, 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 time I had some time alone)
It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (it’s time I had some time alone)
I feel fine.

I feel fine.

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 and I feel fine (it’s time I had some time alone).

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide
Mount St. Edelite, Leonard Bernstein,
Leonid Brezhnev, 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 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 and I feel fine (it’s time I had some time alone)

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 time I had some time alone) (repeat til fade)
