DC Talk
It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) (Live 1996)
[Verse 1: Kevin Max]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds, snakes, and aeroplanes
You know I am not afrai-ai-ai-ai-aid

[Refrain: TobyMac]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself turn
World sees its own needs, dummy serve your own need
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, none
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a sin gauge
In a government rage

[Chorus: TobyMac & Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Michael Tait, Together]
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel fine
It's the end of the world as we know it
I feel, and I feel
And I feel fine (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Michael Tait]
That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
TobyMac has never, ever, ever been afraid
[Refrain: TobyMac, Kevin Max]
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself turn
Ayy
World serves it's own needs, dummy serve your own need
Feed it like an aux feeds, grunt, no, strength, no
Ladder starts with a clattered gear found high
Wire in a fire represents a sin gauge
In a government rage

[Chorus]
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac] I need to hear you
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel
[DC Talk] And I feel fine
[TobyMac] We're saying that we all know it
[DC Talk] It's the end of the world as we know it
[TobyMac] You sing one time, come on
[Kevin Max] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[DC Talk] And I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel fine
[TobyMac & Michael Tait] It's the end of the world as we know it
[Kevin Max] I feel, and I feel
[DC Talk] And I feel fine
[Outro: Michael Tait, Kevin Max, TobyMac, TobyMac & Kevin Max]
Ooh ooh ooh
I feel fine
Yeah
Everybody, get up!
How many o' you feel fine out there tonight?

[Interlude 1: TobyMac, Kevin Max]
Ladies and gentlemen
On the bass guitar
The one and only brother
There is none other:
Mr. Sugar Bear
Oh yeah, yeah
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
That's— That's tasty
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Will
I like that
That's kinda weak, man
Uh, a'ight
Sugarbear that it was weak too
He says— He says he wants the funk
Ho ho
Ho ho ho-oh
[Bridge: TobyMac]
Yeah
A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks
Peek into my past and my rhymes seem Greek
For I wasn't the man that I am today, see
I ran the games like Tait manned his fade
Max was a factor in those early days
We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays
'Til the Word cut through us like a Buck knife
And so deep, I'll be a freak for life
You'll be a what?
You'll be a what?
Freak for life!
There you go

[Interlude 2: TobyMac, Kevin Max, Michael Tait]
Take it away
That's right
To my left
Weighing a hundred and five pounds
And he's three inches taller than me
It's Rockin' Mark Townsend!
Ladies and gentlemen
Up on the percussion
Yes
And miscellaneous drum toys
The man with the fastest hands in the West
Mr. Marvin Sim
Yeah, yeah
Marvin Sims on the percussion
