The ladder starts to clatter with dinner fight down height

Wire in a fire, representing southern gangs
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, trumped, tethered cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then, uh oh
Overflow, population, common food, but it'll do
Save yourself, serve yourself

World serves its own needs, listen to your heart beat
Tell me that the reds are in the reverend in the right?
You patriotic, 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

Oh, 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 votive, light a candle. Step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush
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, and I feel fine

Oh, 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

And the other night I drifted nice, continental trip to find
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam foot neck, said 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 the end of the world as we know it, 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, 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, and I feel fine
