Black Flag often faced violence at the hands of members of the LAPD due to the perceived violence and lawnessness of the band and their fans. This song, along with “Police Story” from 1981’s “Damaged”, details a revenge fantasy against the police who had victimised the band.
[Intro]
It's not my imagination
I've got a gun on my back!
[Verse 1]
Promises you made
Never become fact
We're gonna get revenge
You won't know what hit you
We're tired of being screwed
Don't tell me about tomorrow
Don't tell me what I'll get
I can't think of progress when
Just around the corner
There's a bed of cold pavement
Waiting for me
[Chorus]
Revenge!
I'll watch you bleed
Revenge!
That's all I'll need
[Verse 2]
I won't cry if you- die! die!
We're gonna get revenge
You won't know what hit you
We're tired of being screwed
[Outro]
Revenge!
Revenge!!!
