==Song history== Early versions of "Revenge" and "White Minority" with Reyes on vocals, along with an early version of the later ''[[Damaged (Black Flag album)|Damaged]]'' track "Depression", were recorded and filmed for ''The Decline of Western Civilization''. In the movie and on the soundtrack album, Reyes defiantly dedicates the former song to the [[Los Angeles Police Department|LAPD]].<ref name="decline_movie">''The Decline of Western Civilization'', Spheeris Films, 1980; Media Video, 1987</ref><ref name="decline_soundtrack">''The Decline of Western Civilization'' soundtrack LP, Slash Records, 1980</ref> Already, Black Flag (and many other Los Angeles punk bands) were getting harassed by police; "Revenge" was undoubtedly inspired at least in part by the band's unprovoked encounters with them. "You Bet We've Got Something Personal Against You!" initially started life as a Greg Ginn/Keith Morris composition, "I Don't Care", recorded during the original album sessions with Morris on vocals.<ref name="everything" /> When Morris quit the band, however, he took both "I Don't Care" and ''Nervous Breakdown''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Wasted" (the only other Morris/Ginn songwriting collaboration under the Black Flag moniker)<ref name="nervous">"Wasted" appears on the ''Nervous Breakdown'' EP; an alternate version cut during the aborted Morris sessions for ''Jealous Again'' appears on ''Everything Went Black''.</ref> with him and recorded them with his new band [[The Circle Jerks]] on their debut album ''[[Group Sex (album)|Group Sex]]''.<ref name="group_sex">The Circle Jerks, ''Group Sex'', Frontier Records, 1980</ref> Offended by what they saw as the misappropriation of two Black Flag songs, Dukowski wrote new lyrics to Ginn's music for "I Don't Care" and recorded what is essentially an attack on Morris and the Circle Jerks. "You Bet..." is also the only time Dukowski sings lead vocals on a Black Flag song.
