Rock  gets hot, now she can't stop
She's  a lot, a lot like  a robot
And  she can't  be bought, and her nerves are shot
 And she starts  to rot, from the inside  out
She  said I don't  need you to save me,
 but there's people  here trying to blame  me
And  there's no  jobs that will pay me,
enough  to feed my family
 And I  got my back  up against the wall
 And I  got my back  up against the wall
 And no  one hears her call
 Cause there's no  one there at all
 And I  got my back up against the wall
 Law crack re-run, fools are chippin
 Promises are broken, yeh, jobs are leavin
 And the sky is darkening in the land of stepping
 But the bus is splitin' and I won't be regretting
 And there's no more jobs here, no more love here
 No more room here for me, and there's no more jobs here
 Only misery here, for me and my family
 And I got my back up against the wall
 And I got my back up against the wall
 And no one hears her call
 Cause there's no one there at all
 And I got my back up against the wall
Now  where have all  the good times gone
 (ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!)
 But something here  is going wrong
 (ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT)
 Why even bother, when you getting clobbered
 Nowhere is safe and sound, off the sweat they will profit
 Your getting robbed and they'll grind you down to the ground
 Oh we all got big dreams now, the new factory just shut down
 And there's not enough to go around,
 And their grinding you down to the ground
 And I got my back up against the wall
 And I got my back up against the wall
 And no one hears her call
 Cause there's no one there at all
 And I got my back up against the wall
