REM – It’s the End of the World as We Know It

Lyrics

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

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, don’t misserve your own needs

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
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
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 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 votive, 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, 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 (it’s time I had some time alone)
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, jellybean, 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 (it’s time I had some time alone)
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 (it’s time I had some time alone)
And 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 (it’s time I had some time alone)
And 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 (it’s time I had some time alone)
And I feel fine

Prevod na srpski

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (I meni je dobro)

To je sjajno! Počinje zemljotresom, sa pticama i zmijama,
Jednim avionom – Leni Brus se ne plaši.

Srce uragana, čuj kako talasaš
Svet gleda svoje interese, ne radi protiv sopstvenih

Lansiraj tu vest*, brzina, groktaj, ne, snaga, ne
Lestve, kontrukcija tandrče od straha od visine, dole, visina
Žica u vatri, predstavlja sedam igara
U vladi na iznajmljivanje i poprište borbe

Ostavio je, nije žurio sa furijama
za vratom
Tim po tim, reporteri zbunjeni, adutiraju, privezani rod
Vidi ti taj niski avion, dobro onda

Uh oh, prelivanje, populacija, zajednička grupa
Ali poslužiće, spasi sebe,
Svet gleda svoje interese, slušaj kako ti krvari srce
Reci mi, ushićeno i uz poštovanje onog što je ispravno, ispravno
Vi zajedljive patriote, lupate šakom, borite se, jarko svetlo
Poprilično ste uzbuđeni

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
I meni je dobro

Šest sati, vreme za TV, nemoj da te zateknu u stranoj kuli
Seča i paljenje, vraćanje, čuješ svoje talasanje
Zabravi ga u uniformu i zakaži paljenje, puštanje krvi
Svaka pobuda eskalira, samozapali se

Zapali sveću, molitvenu sveću, siđi, siđi
Gledaj kako štikla puca, puca, uh oh, to znači da nema straha
Kavaljer, odmetnik i mladi bik se sklanjaju
Turnir, turnir, turnir u lažima
Nudite mi rešenja, nudite mi alternative, a ja odbijam

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
I meni je dobro, meni je dobro

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
I dobro sam

Pre neku noć sam tripovao o lepom pomeranju tla
Planina Sv. Edelit, Leonard Bernštajn
Leonid Brešnjev, Leni Brus i Lester Bengs
Rođendanska žurka, kolač od sira, žele bomboni, bum
Vi simbiotične patriote, tras, sem za vrat, je l tako? Tako je

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
I dobro sam

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
I dobro sam

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
I dobro sam

Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
Ovo je kraj sveta kakvog znamo (vreme je da neko vreme budem sam)
I dobro sam
