about
We took this classic hit song from R.E.M. and put our own spin on it, updating the lyrics to reflect the crazy times that happend to our generation from 2020 to 2022!
lyrics
That's great it starts with a pandemic that put us in a craze
You know Westwood's not afraid
(two, three, four)
Covid Delta Omicron, All our taste buds are gone
Hit 'em with a lock down, watch 'em all break down
Speed it up, open up, false alarm, close it up
People start to wonder if the whole thing is a cover up
Hydroxychloroquine didn't help anything
What are we to do as the infection rates rise?
Rush a new vaccine so everyone can finally breathe
And start to feel, all, right
West coast wildfires, Burning like a bunch of flyers
Scatter through the California air and have the people screaming
Uh oh, where to go? Population now controled
Shove them all in theaters so hollywood is still a-go!
Stock up on your toilet paper, Harvey Weinstein goes to jail
Stock markets crash and Nashville gets bombed
I'll be making music with my best friends in a basment and we're all, pretty psyched!
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
And I feel fine
Proud boys raid the capitol, TV stations call it hell
Cargo ship gets stuck in the Suez Canal
Covid has a stronger grip, with another varient
Some people are terrified and some people don't give a shit
Give the people a relief, give them money for their grief
Do whatever it'll take to keep the riots off the streets
Winter storms take over Texas,
Gamestop trades are getting hectic
To the moon and to the moon and to the moon it climbs!
I'll be watching Robinhood as they start preparing for the upcoming, decline
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
And I feel fine
Eyes to the Ukraine, Putin's taking everything
And everyone is laughing at a world war 3 meme
China guards its southern sea, no one seems to disagree
Spy balloons are flying over the land of democracy
Somethings got me thinking that the cold war never really ended
Right? RIGHT!!
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
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
(I think I need some time alone)
And I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
(I think I need some time alone)
And nothing's fine
Nothing's fine
Nothing's fine
