It's the End of Your Life As You Know It

to "It's the End of the World As We Know It" by R.E.M.

Flashback, it starts with the LSAT Filling scantrons in en masse, Powerscore can kiss my ass Inflate your GPA, proposition your TA Write about a rare disease, overcome adversity Send your recommenders bribes, food, cash, booze The application deadline is two weeks away Will you self-identify your chosen way to pray And the nations of relations on your mother's side Certify the mail and signature upon receipt and then you hold your breath Mid-November, haven't been to class and can't remember If it's graded pass or fail—finals, crap Uh-oh, heavy load, finish thesis on Rousseau Struggle through to save your grade, merit aid School serves its own needs, better help their rankings, buddy With your numbers and your letters and your drive, right Your hypertension, indigestion, no sleep, no sex, in at CLS It's the end of your life as you know it It's the death of your dream to be a poet It's the end of your life as you know it, you're in hell Schizer mail congratulate, we need you to propagate Favorite son, Hamilton, if you grant it they will come Human rights, private sector, norm shaping, e-trading Sovern, Sanger, Sharkey, Wu, can't get that at NYU Hold at Harvard, Palo Alto, wait list, short list Mail from Yale, crush, crushed, oh well, this means Make way, admit day, Morningside is on display Another bag, a new name tag, a talk on genocide Offer me Chicago, offer me Issacharoff, and I decline It's the end of your life as you know it They will detain your brain and Kelo it It's the end of your life as you know it, you're in hell It's the end of your life as you know it Something died deep inside, you don't show it It's the end of your life as you know it, you're in hell Stafford loan has been denied, can't afford rodenticide Bought a Dell, now it's fried, Ginsburg, go hide! Girlfriend that you left at home IMs that your on your own Pity party, in class, can I pass? No! It will get better, must get better, can't get worse, right? Right... It's the end of your life as you know it Have to pay off those loans, don't you blow it It's the end of your life as you know it, you're in hell Can I be an undergrad? College never was this bad Law school's making me feel sad Hell... It's the end of your life as you know it It's the end of your life as you know it It's the end of your life as you know it, you're a 1L

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 misserve your own needs Feed it up a knock, speed, grunt no, strength no Ladder structure clatter with fear of height, down height Wire in a fire, represent the seven games In a government for hire and a combat site Left her, wasn't 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 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 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 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 tower Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn Lock him in uniform and book burning, blood letting Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate Light a candle, light a motive, 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 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 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 tripped a nice continental drift divide Mount St. Edelite, Leonard Bernstein Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom You symbiotic, patriotic, slam, but 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 It's time I had some time alone It's time I had some time alone It's time I had some time alone Help... 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
