"The Whole World or Nothing !" is a tribute to Charles BUKOWSKI from some of his best PUNCHLINES.

lyrics

The Whole World or Nothing !

Some people never go crazy
Some people never go mad
What horrible lives they must lead.
So sad
They must lead, so sad

Do you hate people ?
I don't hate them !
(I) just feel better when they're not around.
Climb out of bed in the morning and ya think :
"I'm not gonna make it !"
But you laugh inside.

I want the whole world or nothing !
I want the whole world or nothing !

What matters is how well you walk through the fire,
We are all going to die !
Cause all of us,
What a circus !
That alone should make us love each other.

You're losing your soul and you know it,
Then you've still got a soul left to lose.
Terrorized and flattened by trivialities,
We are eaten up by nothing.

Boring damned people
All over the earth,
Propagating more boring damned people.
What a horror show.
The earth swarmed with them.
Cause all of us,
What a circus !

I want the whole world or nothing !
I want the whole world or nothing !
I want the whole world or nothing !
That alone should make us love each other.

Lighting new cigarettes,
pouring more drinks.
It’s been a beautiful fight, still is.
The more crap you believe,
The better off you are.

I want the whole world or nothing !
I want the whole world or nothing !
I want the whole world or nothing !

That alone should make us love each other.

What a circus ...
