[ed. note:  Damn, I love this filk -- oh, and Russell
    Crowe ... *gchhhhhkkkkk* </Homer>]

Well. I'm sure you all heard by now. So this is in honor of s8. Note
that it being the end of the show as we know it isn't necessarily BAD,
it's just TRUE.


Filked to that great, lyrically indecipherable R.E.M. song. All 
vestiges of bile are my own. ;) And yes, sometimes it makes no 
sense. But have you ever actually READ the real lyrics? Hooboy.


It's the End of the Show as We Know It (And We Feel FINE)


Oh great! there's gonna be a season eight, with less Mulder and mytharc
angst-- Focused philes are way afraid. My, what a hurricane, listen to
the geeks churn - FOX serves its own needs-- Philes, serve your own
needs! Ratings off a high peak, grunt, no, strength, lawsuit starts to
matter with cash fight down right. FOX's under fire, representing seven
eps and Malcolm in the Middle on a Regis nite. Six to nine-- and coming
in a hurry with a contract breathing down Carter's neck. Ep by ep
viewers baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped. Look at that low number!
Nine, then? Uh oh, noromo, shipper too, what they gonna do? Save
yourself, save yourself! FOX serves its own needs, listen to the ratings 
bleed dammit with their Simpsons and the Regis and their rights, right. 
Us vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling damn psyched. (out)

CHORUS
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it and we feel FINE

Nine o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught sans recorder. Tape and learn,
return, listen to the fans churn. Mulderist, Scullyist, Skinnerista,
Krych-aholic-- Every fan escalate an emotional incinerate. Tape a
contract, start a season. Step down, step down. Watch Mulder get
crush-crushed, uh-oh, this means no more scrunchyface Mulderist steer
clear!  A seasoneight, a seasoneight, a seasoneight Mulder-lite. Offer
me more directing, offer me Russell Crowe-- and I won't decline!

It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it
It's the end of the show as we know it and we feel FINE

We feel FINE--

(Chorus repeat over "It's time she had some time alone")

The other night I dreamt of files, lots and lots and lots of files.
Genie grants me a wish--, Alex Krycek-- Edward Norton, Russell Crowe 
and Cusack. Big announcement, season eight, Mulderlite, boom! You 
vitriolic, patriotic, watched Sunday night, right? Right.

It's the end of the show as we know it.
It's the end of the show as we know it.
It's the end of the show as we know it and we feel
fine...fine...
