No More
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Rebellion in Black Flag's 'No More'
Lyrics
No, I won't believe that this is all
Expressing disbelief that the current situation is the only reality.
I'm not happy, I'm not free
Acknowledging dissatisfaction and a lack of freedom.
Paycheck to paycheck, living for what?
Questioning the purpose of living paycheck to paycheck.
Every night I get drunk to get sunk
Using alcohol to escape or cope with life's challenges.
I need action
Expressing a need for proactive change or engagement.
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more
Declaring a refusal to endure the current situation any longer.
It won't work, won't work no more
Asserting that the current approach or situation is ineffective.
I knew what I had when I grew up
Reflecting on past awareness of a better life.
I know that it really sucked
Acknowledging that the past was not ideal.
Now I'm a slave to the same lies
Feeling enslaved by repeated false beliefs or societal norms.
If I don't get out I'm gonna die
Expressing a sense of urgency to break free from the current situation.
I need action
Reiterating the need for active change or involvement.
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more
Reaffirming the refusal to tolerate the current state of affairs.
It won't work, won't work no more
Emphasizing the ineffectiveness of the current situation or approach.
Control, control for who, for what?
Questioning the purpose and beneficiaries of control.
I'm no robot, they can get fucked
Rejecting the idea of conforming like a robot.
Reactions, masochism, this can't last
Mentioning adverse reactions and suggesting that the current state is unsustainable.
I need to live, I need it now
Expressing a vital need for immediate change or action.
I need action
Reiterating the urgent need for active engagement or change.
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no
Final declaration of refusal to endure the current situation any longer.
