54/40 or Fight Songtext
von Dead Moon

Oh, shit

I got a train drivin′ through my head
I got a fever burnin' in my bed
If my telephone′s ringin', somebody's dead on the line

I′m gettin′ mad, I'm gettin′ pissed
I can't handle much more of this
Everybody sets me off, man, I′m walkin' on ice

I need something strong to pull me through
I′ve got to find a way to kick these blues
It's that cold in the night, and I've got blood in my eyes

I say 54-40 or fight
54-40 or fight
54, 54, 54-40 or fight
Aright

I′ve got a queasy feelin′ in my guts
Can't you see that I′ve had enough
And everybody sets me off, I'm over the edge


I′ve got a time-bomb tickin' inside
Fire burnin′ in my eyes
Nowhere to hide and nowhere to turn

I've got a needle deep down in my soul
I've got nerves goin′ out of control
My adrenalin′s pumpin' and I′m ready to burst

I say 54-40 or fight
54-40 or fight
54, 54, 54-40 or fight
Aright

I've got a rocket trail in my mind
I′ve got a feelin' that I haven′t much time
I've got a time-bomb tickin' with nowhere to turn

Now these restraints that you′re puttin′ on me
The dealin' with society
This is final approach, it′s my cause for alarm

So don't tell me what I was before
Or expect me to be something more
I′m on the defense, and I'm over the line


I say 54-40 or fight
54-40 or fight
54, 54, 54-40 or fight
Aright

Let′s go
I'm not around to turn it down
I care too much
Gotta give up, go
Gotta let it go, go
