Charles Bukowski - Everywhere, everywhere lyrics
[Charles Bukowski - Everywhere, everywhere lyrics]
Amazing, how grimly we hold onto our misery
Ever defensive, thwarted by the forces
Amazing, the energy we burn
Fueling our anger
Amazing, how one moment we can be
Snarling like a beast, then
A few moments later, Forgetting what or
Why
Not hours of this or days or
Months or years of this but decades
Lifetimes completely used up
Given over to the pettiest
Rancor or hatred finally
There is nothing here for death to take
Away
Ever defensive, thwarted by the forces
Amazing, the energy we burn
Fueling our anger
Amazing, how one moment we can be
Snarling like a beast, then
A few moments later, Forgetting what or
Why
Not hours of this or days or
Months or years of this but decades
Lifetimes completely used up
Given over to the pettiest
Rancor or hatred finally
There is nothing here for death to take
Away
