It’s 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 mis-serve 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 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 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 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 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.

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