R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals. R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records.

Now the radio stutters, snaps to life
Some sour song that sets it right
And when London falls
He'd like to call
But the stars collide
They're beautiful and much maligned
In a universe where you see the worst
And it's up to you to fix it

Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all

It's easy to dismiss the "what's it all about" crowd
There is no doubt. it's this, here, now
And you close your eyes
He's not coming back
So you work it out, overfeed the cat
And the plants are dry and they need to drink
So you do your best. and you flood the sink
Sit down in the kitchen and cry

Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all

Now the universe left you for a runners lap
It feels like home when it comes crashing back
And it makes you laugh
And it makes you cry
When London falls
And you're still alive
The radio stutters
It makes you laugh
And the aftermath
Open up your eyes
You're so alive

Now you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you've worked it out
And you see it all
And you want to shout
How you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all
How you've worked it out
And you see it all
