R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It

2025/2/2 Edited to

... Read moreHey Lemon8 fam! 👋 Who else has R.E.M.'s 'It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)' stuck on repeat in their head? This song is an absolute masterpiece, and honestly, it feels more relevant than ever sometimes, right? I was just listening to it again, trying to keep up with Michael Stipe's incredibly rapid-fire delivery, and I realized I just HAD to share the full lyrics with all of you. This track is pure genius. The way it throws you into a whirlwind of images and cultural references – from earthquakes to Lenny Bruce – it's both chaotic and strangely comforting. That iconic line, 'And I feel fine,' always hits differently. It's like, no matter how wild things get, there's a resilience, a defiance in just accepting it and moving on. I remember spending hours trying to memorize every word as a teenager, feeling so accomplished when I could actually keep pace with the vocals. It's truly a lyrical marathon! It's not just about a literal apocalypse; it's about information overload, the constant news cycle, and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the world's demands. But somehow, R.E.M. packages it all into this incredibly energetic, catchy anthem that makes you want to dance through the chaos. It's a reminder to find your own 'fine' amidst everything. So, without further ado, here are the full lyrics for 'It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)'. Get ready to warm up those vocal cords and sing along – trust me, it's therapeutic! R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) Lyrics That's great, it starts with an earthquake Birds and snakes, an aeroplane And Lenny Bruce is not afraid Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn World serves its own needs, dummy, listen to your heart bleed Tell me with the rapture and the reverent in the right, right You see, you set yourselves up to get overthrown And I feel fine Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign powers Dashiki, dashiki, dashiki, dashiki I've got to call my agent, and there's no time to talk about 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 (Chorus) 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 I feel fine The other night, I was watching T.V. I had a dream, I was driving a car I was driving a car, and then I saw a sign And the sign said, "The end of the world is coming" 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 (Chorus) 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 I feel fine 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 (and I feel fine) It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine No time soon Did you see the news? Did you see the newspapers? Did you see the papers? Did you see the papers? Did you see the papers? Did you see the papers? Did you see the papers? ... (repeated many times, fast) 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 (Chorus) 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 I feel fine What are your favorite lines from this song? Or perhaps another R.E.M. track that gets you thinking? Let me know in the comments! Let's keep the good vibes going, even if the world is ending (as we know it, of course!).
