American Waste Lyrics
The worlds got some plans for me
Courthouse, jails and factories
Black and whites on the street
For me for me
I see my place in American waste
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate
On my own on the way out
Small enough its all spelled out
I know what I see what I want
The doors are closed in this maze
I see my place in American waste
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate
Boredom looks for its kicks
Going down on death
I see it coming
I can't do anything
Not for me not for me
I won't end up in the heap
I want out I'm free
Burning Burning
I see my place in American waste
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate
Courthouse, jails and factories
Black and whites on the street
For me for me
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate
Small enough its all spelled out
I know what I see what I want
The doors are closed in this maze
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate
Going down on death
I see it coming
I can't do anything
I won't end up in the heap
I want out I'm free
Burning Burning
Faced with choices I can't take
American waste American waste
On my own I see my fate

great fucking band. can't get enough of black flag. never will. ever. that's all. thier thrashy guitars and scragly vocals are just..GREAT.
I agree, this is my third fav song (1 is rise above and two is tv party)
I think this song describes the whole punk era during the time. Especially considering that punks were considered low-lifes, etc.
Black Flag lyrics are the best.
