Lyrics
That's
great!
It
starts
with
an
earthquake, /
Birds
and
snakes,
an
aeroplane /
Lenny
Bruce
is
not
afraid /
Eye
of
a
hurricane,
listen
to
yourself
churn /
World
serves
its
own
needs,
don't
mis-serve
serve
your
own
needs /
Speed
it
up
a
notch
speed,
grunt,
no
strength /
The
ladder
starts
to
clatter
with
fear
of
height
down,
height /
Wire
in
a
Lyrics
fire,
representing
seven
games /
In
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,
trump,
tethered,
crop /
Look
at
that
low
plane!
Fine
then /
Uh
oh,
overflow,
population,
common
food /
But
it'll
do.
Save
yourself,
serve
yourself /
World
serves
its
Lyrics
own
needs,
listen
to
your
heart
bleed /
Tell
me
with
the
rapture
and
the
reverent
in
the
right,
right /
You
vitriolic,
patriotic,
slam,
fight,
bright
light /
Feeling
pretty
psyched /
It's
the
end
of
the
world
as
we
know
it (x3) /
And
I
feel
fine /
Six
o'clock -
TV
hour /
Don't
get
caught
in
foreign
tower /
Slash
and
burn,
return /
Listen
to
Lyrics
yourself
churn /
Lock
him
in
uniform
and
book
burning,
bloodletting /
Every
motive
escalate,
automotive
incinerate /
Light
a
candle,
light
a
votive /
Step
down,
step
down /
Watch
a
heel
crush,
crush /
Uh
oh,
this
means
no
fear,
cavalier /
Renegade
and
steer
clear! /
A
tournament,
A
tournament /
A
tournament
of
lies /
Offer
me
solutions,
offer
me
alternatives /
And
I
decline /
It's
Lyrics
the
end
of
the
world
as
we
know
it (x2) /
(It's
time
I
had
some
time
alone) /
It's
the
end
of
the
world
as
we
know
it,
and
I
feel
fine /
(It's
time
I
had
some
time
alone) /
I
feel
fine /
It's

end
of
the
world
as
we

it,
and
I
feel
fine /
(It's

The
other
night
I
tripped
a
nice /
Continental
drift
divide /
Mountains
sit
in
a
line /
Leonard
Bernstein,
Leonid
Brezhnev /
Lenny
Bruce,
and

beans,
boom! /
You
symbiotic,

Right. /

There are a few places where I struggle, so I checked the link you used. Some of your lines are wrong, for example: World serves its own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs

Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no strength.

I sincerely apologize to anyone who took this quiz before today - I made it eight years ago and the only conclusion I can draw is that I tried to transcribe the lyrics after having listened to it. Once. Through a door. While someone was vaccuuming downstairs.

At any rate, it should be correct now. Better late than never.

It's still not correct. You still don't have the line about "World serves its own needs, don't mis-serve your own needs, speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no strength..." correct. Did you remember to re-publish it after saving it?

Also, no worries—I remember trying to figure out the lyrics in like 1989-1990 and R.E.M. refused to put their lyrics in cassette liners, so it was all guess work.
