Drinking and Driving Lyrics

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.
