It's The End Of The World As We Know It

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, don't misserve your own needs.
Feed it up a knock, grunt, no, strength, no,
Ladder structure to clatter with fear fight down height.
Fire in a wire, 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 plane! 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 tell me 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
But I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour, don't get caught in foreign towers.
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn.
Locking him in uniform and 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, a tournament, a tournament of lies.
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, 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.
I feel fine.
I feel fine.
The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide.
Mount St. Edelite, 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.
I feel fine.
It's time, I spent some time alone.
It's time, I spent some time alone.
It's time, I spent some time alone.
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
I feel fine.
It's The End Of The World As We Know It
No Doubt's 1993 single 'It's The End Of The World As We Know It' stands as a defining anthem of the garage rock revival, blending punk energy with Southern California pop sensibilities. Lead singer Gwen Stefani's distinctive vocal delivery, characterized by her signature falsetto and rhythmic phrasing, drives the track's infectious hook. The song appeared on the band's debut album, 'Tragic Kingdom,' which established them as a major force in alternative rock. Its fusion of upbeat tempo with apocalyptic lyrics created a unique tension that resonated globally, influencing a generation of artists who sought to merge punk's raw energy with pop accessibility. The recording remains a staple of the genre, celebrated for its production quality and Stefani's early demonstration of her signature vocal style.
