[00:00.00] That's great, it starts with an earthquake
[00:03.08] Birds and snakes, an aeroplane
[00:06.60] Lenny Bruce is not afraid
[00:09.78] Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
[00:12.13] World serves it's own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs
[00:14.31] Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no strength
[00:16.48] No ladder structure, clatter with fear of height, down height
[00:19.16] Wire in a fire, representing seven games in a
[00:21.05] Government for hire and a combat site left her
[00:23.44] Wasn't coming in a hurry with the
[00:25.68] Furies breathing down your neck
[00:26.75] Team by team reporters baffled, trump, tethered, crop
[00:29.42] Look at that low plane, fine, then
[00:32.19] Uh, oh, overflow, population, common group
[00:34.44] But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
[00:36.27] World serves it's own needs listen to your heart bleed
[00:38.37] Tell me with the rapture and the revered and the right
[00:40.60] Right you vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light
[00:43.41] Feeling pretty psyched
[00:45.56] It's the end of the world as we know it
[00:49.00] It's the end of the world as we know it
[00:53.85] It's the end of the world as we know it
[00:58.36] And I feel fine
[01:03.86] Six o'clock, TV hour, don't get caught in foreign towers
[01:06.37] Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
[01:08.56] Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting
[01:10.84] Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
[01:13.14] Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
[01:15.56] Watch your heel crush, crush, uh, oh, this means
[01:17.74] No fear, cavalier, renegade, steer clear
[01:20.21] A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
[01:22.07] Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
[01:24.52] It's the end of the world as we know it
[01:30.28] It's the end of the world as we know it
[01:34.78] It's the end of the world as we know it
[01:38.61] And I feel fine, I feel fine
[01:59.01] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:02.54] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:06.54] It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
[02:17.45] The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide
[02:19.67] Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
[02:22.13] Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
[02:24.26] Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom
[02:26.58] You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but neck, right? Right
[02:30.79] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:35.24] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:39.23] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:43.65] And I feel fine
[02:49.14] It's the end of the world as we know it
[02:56.00] It's the end of the world as we know it
[03:03.64] It's the end of the world as we know it
[03:11.56] And I feel fine
[03:16.68] It's the end of the world as we know it(It's time I had some time alone)
[03:21.05] It's the end of the world as we know it(It's time I had some time alone)
[03:25.54] It's the end of the world as we know it(It's time I had some time alone)
[03:29.98] And I feel fine
[03:34.81] It's the end of the world as we know it
[03:39.32] It's the end of the world as we know it
[03:44.66] It's the end of the world as we know it
[03:48.12] And I feel fine, fine
[04:03.27][03:58.77][03:53.66] It's time I had some time alone
