IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
(maybe I’m wrong and everyone else is right, but I hear it in the key of E not G)

E                               A
That's great it starts with an earthquake
                        E
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
                     A
Lenny Bruce is not afraid
E              
Eye of a hurricane listen to yourself churn
A
World serves its own needs dummy serve your own needs
E
Speed it up a notch speed grunt nose street burn
    A
The ladder starts to clatter with dinner fight down height
F#m
Wire in a fire room represent the southern gangs
        B
In a government for hire and a combat site

(same as before}
Lefty wasn't coming in a hurry
With the furies breathing down your neck
Team by team reporters grapple trunk tethered crop
Look at that low plane fine then
Uh oh overflow population cornered
But it'll do save yourself serve yourself
World serves its own needs listen to your heartbeat
Tell me that the reds are in the reverend in the right right?
You patriotic patriotic slam fight right might feeling pretty psyched

         E            B          A
It's the end of the world as we know it 
         E            B          A
It's the end of the world as we know it
         E            B          A                         
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
 
Six o'clock TV hour don't get caught foreign tower
Slice 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 watching 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
 
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


The other night I drifted nice continental trip to find
Mount Saint Edelite Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party cheesecake jellybeans boom
You symbiotic patriotic slam foot neck right right
