A great song by R.E.M. It should be played when the world really ends.

What an evolutionary fuck-up for a species to be "fine" with its own demise; must be the tainting effect of religion... what a sad story.

simply perfection. rem has some of the best lyrics in their songs

best song by them! XD

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.

SO COOL AND HE SINGS SO FAST LOL LOL LOL LOL

OMG ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT AND I FEEL FINE




lmfao

also someone said they were going to play this exact song when and if the world was really ending on the other song version lol

i like this song because it's fast paced like they were recording when the world was really ending lol

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, jealous of your own needs. Feed it up a notch, speed, grunt no, strength turn. Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height. Wire in a fire, represents the seven games in a government for hire and a combat site. Lefty 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, dead. Uh oh, overflow, population comin’. What we gonna do? Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat. Tell me which direction we can bend it 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
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.

(chorus)
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

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.Mountains sit in a line. 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)

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 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)
