It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Remastered Songtext
von R.E.M.

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 off an aux, speak, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight, down, height

Wire in a fire, representing seven games
And 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
O-O-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 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, book burning, blood-letting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a votive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crushed, oh-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 the end of the world as we know it (it's time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine
(I feel fine)
Whoo!


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 (it's time I had some time alone)
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, vermouth
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 (it's time I had some time alone)
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 (it's time I had some time alone)
And 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 (it's time I had some time alone)
And 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 (it's time I had some time alone)
And 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)
