And I feel fine

Puisque j'entamais cette semaine thématique liée à la fin du monde en faisant référence à la chanson de R.E.M., en voici les paroles...
Quant au clip, c'est .
(non, je ne l'embedde pas)

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, an airplane
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, no
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 heartbeat, 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 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 time I had some time alone)
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 time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
...

R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World as we know it (and i feel fine)
