\begin{verse}
^{G} That's great! It starts with an ^{Cmaj7}earthquake, \\
Birds and snakes, an ^{G}aeroplane ^{'}- Lenny Bruce is ^{Cmaj7}not afraid \\
^{G}Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn.
^{Cmaj7}World serves its own needs, dummy, serve your own needs. ^{'} \\
^{G}Feed it off an aux speek, grunt, no strength. The ^{Cmaj7}ladder starts to clatter with fear fight down height. \\
^{Bb}Wire in a fire, representing seven games in a ^{Am}government for hire and a combat site. \\
^{G}Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing ^{Cmaj7}down your neck. \\
^{G}Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped. Look at ^{Cmaj7}that low playing! Fine then. \\
^{G}Uh oh, overflow, population, common group, but ^{Cmaj7}it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. \\
World serves its ^{G}own needs, listen to your heart bleed.
Dummy with the ^{Cmaj7}rapture \scalebox{0.99}[1.0]{and the reverent and the right, right} \\
You ^{Bb}vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, ^{Am}feeling pretty psyched.
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it \\
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it \\
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it and I feel ^{C}fine ^{C}
\end{chorus}
\begin{verse}
^{G}Six o'clock, TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers.
^{Cmaj7}Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. \\
^{G}Locking in uniforming, and book burning, blood letting.
^{Cmaj7}Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. \\
^{G}Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
^{Cmaj7}Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh oh. \\
This means ^{G}no fear cavalier renegade and steering clear!
A ^{Cmaj7}tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies. \\
^{Bb}Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and ^{Am}I decline.
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it \\
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it \\
It's the ^{G}end o^{-}f the ^{Dsus2}world as we ^{Am}know it and I feel ^{C}fine \\
^{G} I feel ^{Cmaj7}fine ^{G} ^{Cmaj7} ^{G} ^{F} ^{F} \\

\begin{verse}
^{G}The other night I dreamed of knives, continental drift divide.
^{Cmaj7}Mountains sit ^{-}in a line, ^{N.C.}Leonard Bernstein. \\
^{G}Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
^{Cmaj7}Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom! \\
You ^{Bb}symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, ^{Am}right? Right.
