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

That's great, it starts  with an earthquake, 
              G                  Cmaj7
birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn

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 
     Ami
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  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 Breshnev, 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
