Six Pack
Black Flag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And nothing to do!
I've got a six-pack
And I don't need you
Thrity-five dollards and a six pack to my name (six-pack!)
Spent the rest on beer so who's to blame? (six-pack!)
They say I'm fucked up all the time (six-pack!)
I know it'll be okay
I get a six pack in me, all right
My girlfriend asked me which one do I like better? (sixpack!)
I hope the answer don't upset her (six-pack!)
I was born with a bottle in my mouth (six-pack!)
Now I've got six so I'll never run out (six-pack!)
I know it'll be okay
When I get a six pack in me, well, all right!
Aah, thrity-five dollars and a six pack to my name six pack!
Spent the rest on beer so who's to blame six pack!
They say I'm fucked up all the time six pack!
But I know they're a waste of time six pack!
Six-pack
Six-pack
Six-pack
What do they know about partying
Or anything else?
The song "Six Pack" by Black Flag is essentially about drinking and partying. The lyrics reveal a narrator who has a six-pack of beer and nothing else to do, indicating how drinking might be a way to pass the time. The singer explains that they don't need anyone else as they have their six-pack, and this becomes a recurring theme in the song, such as the line "Now I've got six so I'll never run out."
The song has a celebratory or defiant tone, with the lyrics indicating that the singer doesn't care what others say about their drinking or the perception that they're "fucked up all the time." The line "What do they know about partying or anything else?" highlights this attitude. The last two lines "Six-pack, six-pack, six-pack" serve as a sort of anthem or chant to the idea of the six-pack being central to the singer's experience.
Overall, the song is a commentary on drinking culture and emphasizes the idea that having a six-pack of beer is an important part of having a good time. The lyrics also suggest that the singer feels judged for their drinking habits but ultimately doesn't care and values the experience of drinking and partying above all else.
