Drinking and Driving Lyrics

Drink
Drink
Drink
Drink
Don't Think
Drive
Kill

Get drunk a lot
And work 40 hours a week
Spend half your time
Hung over, sick and weak

Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool
And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice
And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
And that you can quit anytime
That you want, anytime
You can quit
Anytime
That you want
You can quit
Anytime
You can quit
Anytime
Anytime

Drink
Drink
Drink
Drink
Don't Think
Drive
Kill

Party down, party down
Drinkin' til you can't even see
Fill your car with your buddies
And wrap it around a tree

Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool
And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice
And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
And that you can quit anytime
That you want
You can quit
Anytime
That you want
You can quit
Anytime
That you want
You can quit
You can quit
You can quit

Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool
And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice
And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
And that you can quit anytime
That you want
Anytime
You can quit anytime
That you want
You can quit anytime
That you want
You can quit
Anytime

Drink
Drink
Drink
Drink
Don't Think
Drive
Kill

Feelin' pretty petty
Lying cold in a hospital bed
Busted car, busted head
You had a friend but now he's dead

Make sure to tell yourself that this is cool
And make sure to tell yourself that you have no choice
And make sure to tell your friends that they drive you to it
And that you can quit anytime
That you want
Anytime
You can quit anytime
That you want
You can quit anytime
That you want
You can quit
Anytime

Anytime, anytime

This song and video is funny as hell.

Cover art for Drinking and Driving lyrics by Black Flag

This is about a working man who drinks irresponsibly and gets a friend killed. It's okay to drink responsibly but when you don't there are serious repercussions.

This song shows that punk is not about "Haha let's just get wasted 24/7 for the rest 50 years of our lives." It also doesn't have the straightedge mentality to it. It's a compromise between the two of them.

I agree with Lost Nomad, its just a song talking about how you can drink if you want but to do it in a responsible, smart way. Even though I myslef am Straight-Edge I think that this song makes a lot of sense and it is somehow, a comprimise.

alcohol is honestly a scourge. there are other drugs that are so much less destructive out there that make you so much more open and teach you things and give you a new perspective, but alcohol doesnt do that. it pisses me off how people are scared of so many "hard drugs" but act like alcohol is nothing when in fact alcohol causes as many/more problems.

shut the fuck up hippie. alcohol is amazing for those of us that can handle it.
