End of the Republicans as they know it (and Trump feels fine)

Usa ka 20 anyos nga hit song nabanhaw pag-usab kay gigamit sa usa ka rally ni Donald Trump. Mao kini ang “End of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)” sa R.E.M. Gigamit kini sa usa ka Anti-Iran treaty rally nga gipangunahan ni Trump ug Senator Ted Cruz sa Texas. As expected, wa malipay ang R.E.M. sa paggamit sa ilang kanta. Kon wala pa moy 30 anyos, dakog chance nga wa mo kadungog ning maong kanta. Ania ang lyrics; kamo na lay pangita sa YouTube sa tuno.

“End of the world as we know it” by R.E.M

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, speed, grunt, no, strength./ The ladder starts to clatter with a fear of height, down, height/Wire in a fire, represent the seven games/ And 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, trumped, tethered, cropped./ 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.

(Chorus I) 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, book burning, blodletting./ Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate.

Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down./ Watch your heel crush, crush, uh-oh./ This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear/ A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies./ Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives, and I decline.

(Chorus 2) It’s the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone). /It’s the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone). /It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine. (It’s time I had some time alone.) /I feel fine (I feel fine)./ 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. (It’s time I had some time alone)./ It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine (It’s time I had some time alone).

The other night I dreamt a nice continental drift divide./ Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein, Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Lester Bangs./ Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom./ You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right? Right?
(Chorus 2, 3x) It’s time I had some time alone.

Dili lang ang R.E.M. maoy wa malipay ni Trump. Ang Republicans nga gatuong dili true conservative ang kandidato naguol sa kanunay nga pag top niani sa mga surveys. Tingali nahuman na ang “conservative” phase sa Republican party. O di ba hinuon nausab na ang kahulugan sa pulong nga “conservative” alang kanila.
