R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World Lyrics

D
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, dummy serve your own needs.
Feed it off an aux speak,, grunt, no, strength,
The ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height.
Wire in a fire, representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site.
Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck.
Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing!
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 bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered and 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 towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting.
Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed. 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 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.
(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 dreamt of knives, 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 book 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...

The day one of our elected asshole pushes the Red Button is the day life on this beautiful planet will end.

hahah man id rather the tasty gray paste over radioactive dust. I like your theory better.

I happen to know that at least once was after the time before time that was my first life. My soul mate and me have had 7 toghether where we got 7 to be toghether 7 yrs in each. we were trolls in the first. Native american indians are sure that human beings have advanced into societies as far along as we are today and futher. Each being destoyed totaling 4 times. They believe that it will be destoyed once more but this time we will not come back as physical beings. WE will become beings of electromagnetic energy capable of breaking the barriers of time and space and that we will create out of energy .

As we know it, when Christ returns

that's good for a smile at 3 in the morning,

see JB or Mirror, something about Draconians

Sharp, with all respect I say this sir. The world does not end when Christ returns, "time" ends! love ya man, MM

Really?

Well some say that "time as we know it" ends on December 21, 2012.

So if Christ is going to come back, it should be then.

Now how would one describe "Christ?"

For me, "Christ" is a state of consciousness, not a personality.

Christ comes back anytime you wish, back into your heart and way of thinking, just ask, he will.

That is not what I am talking about. I don't believe that "Christ" is a personality with a gender. I believe it is a state of consciousness that involves divine love and compassion.

I will!

"Christ" IS already in your heart.

"Consciousness" that involves the so-called other 90% as we have not yet fully experienced.

i'll become president and go "whats this button for"and push it.

Make no mistake, Christ's spirit will appear in physical form again. He may already be hear and we have just not recognized it yet. That could be because No one one the planet wants to be the one to expose his identity after what happened to him the first time he was here. There will come a time when He will make his presence known to all. It will be a earth changing event. There have been many false Christ's show up. Koresh, Jim Jones, and many many others, we will know for a fact when the real deal shows. No one one the planet will be able to stop his teachings. They will spread so fast through the world, his message of truth will not be able to be stopped by any man with a killing device of any kind.

Perhaps then Christ will once and for all renounce Christianity for all its man-made laws and ideals.

He very well could, It has become nothing but a tool for a great many people to use for there own gain. Remember, the term "christian" or "Christianity" were not Christ's terms. They came after he was put to death by then the church/government. He would not do away with the idea of being a true christian, but there are very few people whom still practice this. It is important for us to understand that not all who are led astray are guilty of something. Most people just really do not understand what they are doing. Sad.

How do you know that you have not been "led astray"?

The world never ends. Just because we humans, destroy ourselves by our foolishness, the world goes on. If planet Earth could speak, he would say "good riddance of this cancer".
