It’s The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Live From Pyramid Stage, Glastonbury Festival / 1999

[Intro]
We're gonna do one more song and then we’re - off into the night
I hope all of you sleep really good tonight
I hope you sleep sweet dreams
I hope each and every one of you grabs somebody and gives them a big-ass, American hug
Or, it can be- okay, if you wanna give them a big-ass- whatever-you're-from hug, then- just fucking do it
Because this is now
And now is here
And here is where you are
And it's all. real. good
Take it, from there
Here we go

[Verse 1]
That’s great!
It starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes and aeroplanes
Lenny Bruce is not afraid

Eye of a hurricane
Listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't misserve your own needs
Speed it up a nock, speed, grunt, no, strength
Then the ladder starts to clatter with fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire representing seven games
The government for hire in a combat site
Left of west and coming with a hurry with the furies breathing
Down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh-oh, overflow, population common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs
Listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the rapture and the reverend in the right, right
You patriotic, patriotic, slam foot neck
Feeling pretty psyched…

[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!

[Verse 2]
Six o'clock, TV hour
Don't get caught in a foreign tower
Slash and burn, return
Listen to yourself churn
Walking in uniform with foot burning
Blood letting every motive escalate
Automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive
Step down, step down
Watch and heel, crush, crush
Uh-oh, this means no fear
Cavalier
Renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament
A tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, and offer me alternatives
And I decline

[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!
(I feel fine…) Fine!
Fine!
Fine, fine, fine fi-fi-fi-fine 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!

[Verse 3]
The other night I dreamt of knives
Continental drift divide
Mountains sitting in a line
Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly beans, boom!
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam foot neck
Right? (Right!)

[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!

Fine, 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!

It's time I had some time alone!
It's time I had some time alone!
It's time I had some time alone!
(And I feel-) Fine! Fine!
Fiiiiiiiine!

It's time I had some time alone
It's time I had some time alone
It's time I had some time alone
(And I feel fine) Fine! (Fine!)
Whadda you think?

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
How do you feel? (Fine!)
What? (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!
How do you feel? (Fine!)
How do you feel? (Fine!)
Ah, what? (Fine!)
I feel fine!
Fine!
Fine!

It's the end of the world as we know it!
And I! Feel! (Fine!)
And I feel… (fine…)

[Outro]
Thank you, good night
Take care, and we'll see you again
Alright, thank you, Glastonbury, we missed ya!
