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)

Solo

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
