It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (Live 1996)

[Verse 1: Kevin Max]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds, snakes, and aeroplanes
You know I am not afrai-ai-ai-ai-aid

[Refrain: TobyMac]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself turn
World sees its own needs, dummy serve your own need
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, none
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a sin gauge
In a government rage

[Chorus: TobyMac & Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Michael Tait, Together]
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel
And I feel fine (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Michael Tait]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
TobyMac has never, ever, ever been afraid

[Refrain: TobyMac, Kevin Max]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself turn
Ayy
World serves it's own needs, dummy serve your own need
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, no
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a sin gauge
In a government rage

[Chorus]
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac] I need to hear you
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel
[DC Talk] And I feel fine
[TobyMac] We're saying that we all know it
[DC Talk] It's the end of the world as we know it
[TobyMac] You sing one time, come on
[Kevin Max] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[DC Talk] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel
[DC Talk] And I feel fine

[Outro: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, TobyMac, TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Ooh ooh ooh
I feel fine
Yeah
Everybody, get up!
How many o' you feel fine out there tonight?

[Interlude 1: TobyMac, Kevin Max]
Ladies and gentlemen
On the bass guitar
The one and only brother
There is none other:
Mr. Sugar Bear
Oh yeah, yeah
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
That's— That's tasty
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Will
I like that
That's kinda weak, man
Uh, a'ight
Sugarbear that it was weak too
He says— He says he wants the funk
Ho ho
Ho ho ho-oh

[Bridge: TobyMac]
Yeah
A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks
Peek into my past and my rhymes seem Greek
For I wasn't the man that I am today, see
I ran the games like Tait manned his fade
Max was a factor in those early days
We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays
'Til the Word cut through us like a Buck knife
And so deep, I'll be a freak for life
You'll be a what?
You'll be a what?
Freak for life!
There you go

[Interlude 2: TobyMac, Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
Take it away
That's right
To my left
Weighing a hundred and five pounds
And he's three inches taller than me
It's Rockin' Mark Townsend!
Ladies and gentlemen
Up on the percussion
Yes
And miscellaneous drum toys
The man with the fastest hands in the West
Mr. Marvin Sim
Yeah, yeah
Marvin Sims on the percussion
Oh yeah
That's not bad, Marvin
You— You sounded good tonight
All the way over here in this corner today
From London, England
Twenty years old
Playing the B-3 Organ and keys:
Jason Halbert-ino
Oh yeah
Those facts though
He'll tell you
Take a one-eighty
O-o-o-oh
Yeah
You just remember…
What?
You just remember:
I got second place keyboardist this year
On the left guitar
You remember that
Ladies and gentlemen
The number-one guitarist
In America today
In his own mind
Ladies and gentlemen:
B.B. Barcus
Take it away, B!
Ah!
Aw yeah, yeah
On the drums
Last but never least
The cornerstone of our band:
Mr. Chili— Chili Denton
Huh
Swing it one time
Uh uh uh uh
You better make it funky
Hold up, hold up, hold on, hold on
K-Max wants some rock and roll
Give it up
That's right
Oh yeah
That's what Portland wants too
Yeah, now write it down
O-oh yeah oh yea-ea-eah

Ladies and gentlemen
Please give a hand for the band
That's right
