Back Up Against the Wall

Текст песни Rancid - Back Up Against the Wall

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

Alarm clock ringing, fools are chipping
Promises are broken, yeah, jobs are leaving
And the sky is darkening and the landlord's stepping
But the bus is splitting 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're getting clobbered?
Nowhere is safe and sound
Off the sweat they will profit, youth they will rob it
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 they'll grind 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
