about

Original song by Black Flag, as released on their album Slip It In (SST, 1984).

I first saw Black Flag in the summer of 1985, and this song was an essential anthem for me and my college friends at the time. The instrument theme was brown. What did I learn? My oud is nearly impossible to tune. I really only played one note with it here. Also, the original drums are trickier than one might expect for punk rock.

lyrics

Who are you with, where have you been
Imagination turns thoughts, reason can't change
Staring at the walls, think I know what I see
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, drinking black coffee, stare at the walls
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, stare at the walls
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, stare at the...
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, yeaaaaaaaaa

My heart is pounding, as stare at the wall
Its my turn to be jealous, now I don't stand for it all
In fact I'm pretty stupid, I'm feeling small
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

(repeat chorus, solo, repeat chorus, delete last verse)
