Beat My Head Against the Wall Lyrics

Beat my head against the wall one more time
Will this solve my problems at all?
I don't care about parties or a good time
I won't stand in your line

Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall

Tension builds up so quickly
My judgement becomes affected
And without my even knowing it
I have started to act like a dick

Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall

Running around like a chicken without a head
Get my kicks bouncing around in bed
But the next day I still feel the same
I'll find a way yo Blast again

Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall

This is just about my favourite Black Flag song. To me, it just perfectly describes the frustration you feel trying to be an individual in a conformist society.

I'm listening to this song right now. (:

As for the meaning, basically what shadowwiththeeyes said. It's about the aggravation of trying to be an individual, and trying to be yourself, when everyone else clearly just wants to be like every one else (or in other words, MAINSTREAM).
