  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 serve your own needs. feed
  it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, ladder
  start to clatter with fear fight down height. wire
  in a fire, representing seven games, a government
  for hire and a combat site. left of west and coming in
  a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. team
  by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
  look at that low playing! fine, then. uh oh,
  overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. save
  yourself, serve yourself. world serves its own needs,
  listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
  the revered and the right, right. you vitriolic,
  patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
  psyched.
  
  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.
  
  six o'clock - tv hour. don't get caught in foreign
  towers. slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
  churn. locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
  letting. every motive escalate. automotive incinerate.
  light a candle, light a votive. step down, step down.
  watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
  fear cavalier. renegade steer clear! a tournament,
  tournament, a tournament of lies. offer me solutions,
  offer me alternatives and i decline.
  
  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.
  
  the other night i dreamt of knives, continental
  drift divide. mountains sit in a line, leonard
  bernstein. leonid brezhnev, lenny bruce and lester
  bangs. birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! you
  symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? right.
  
  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...

• rem'in ilk çıkş yaptığı şarkıdır.
  
  aslen eponymous albümünde yer almış document'ta rem'in çıkışını sağlamlaştırmak için tekrar yer almıştır.
  
  document albümünde her zaman the one i love'ın gölgesinde kalmış. bu albümden çıkan ikinci hit olarak düşünülmüştür.
  
  anlamsız ötesi, rem elemanlarının hiç görünmediği bir klibi vardır.
