[Michael Stipe]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes
An aeroplane, and Billy Joel is not afraid
[Verse 1: Michael Stipe and Billy Joel simultaneously]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
(Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray)
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs
(South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio)
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength
(Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television)
The ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height
(North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe)
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
(Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom)
And a government for hire and a combat site
(Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye)
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
(Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen)
With the Furies breathing down your neck
(Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye)
[Chorus]
It's the end of the world as we know it
(We didn't start the fire)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It was always burning since the world's been turning)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(We didn't start the fire)
And I feel fine
(No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it)
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes
An aeroplane, and Billy Joel is not afraid
[Verse 1: Michael Stipe and Billy Joel simultaneously]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
(Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray)
World serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs
(South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio)
Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt, no, strength
(Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, Television)
The ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height
(North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe)
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
(Rosenbergs, H-Bomb, Sugar Ray, Panmunjom)
And a government for hire and a combat site
(Brando, The King And I, and The Catcher In The Rye)
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
(Eisenhower, Vaccine, England's got a new queen)
With the Furies breathing down your neck
(Marciano, Liberace, Santayana goodbye)
[Chorus]
It's the end of the world as we know it
(We didn't start the fire)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(It was always burning since the world's been turning)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(We didn't start the fire)
And I feel fine
(No, we didn't light it, but we tried to fight it)
