Текст песни R.E.M. - Its The End of the World as We Know It

That's great it starts with an earthquake

Birds and snakes and aeroplanes

And Lenny Bruce is not afraid



Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

World serves it's own needs, dummy serve your own needs

Feed it off an aux speak grunt no

Ladder with a clatter fight, fear flight down height

Wire in a fire representing seven games and a government for hire in 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 it's own needs

Listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and the right, right

Vitreolic, patriotic stand, 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 candle, light a votive, step down step down

Watch your heel, crush, crushed 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



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, cheescake, jellybean, 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 time I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel fine



I feel fine
