Total chaos

Eulogy for Jean-Claude Izzo / Massimo Carlotto

Prologue : Rue de Pistoles, twenty years after

In which even to lose you have to know how to fight

In which, even with no solution, to wager is to hope

In which the most honorable thing a survivor can do is survive

In which a cognac is not what hurts you the most

In which, at moments of misfortune, you remember you're an exile

In which dawn is merely an illusion that the world is beautiful

In which it's best to say what's on your mind

In which not sleeping doesn't solve a thing

In which insecurity deprives women of their sex appeal

In which the way other people look at you is a deadly weapon

In which things are done as they are supposed to be done

In which we see a microcosm of the world's corruption

In which there are some things you can't let pass

In which it's better to be alive in hell than dead in paradise

In which hatred of the world is the only scenario

Epilogue : nothing changes, and it's a new day
