Up Against The Wall

(album: The Troubled Troubadour - 1996)

The people who lived on the side of the tracks
Live with harassment with the man on their ass
Not enough money for the hungry and poor
They're being starved out by the suits and the law

The neighbourhoods covered
We're gonna get mothered

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out

Everyone's hungry for a piece of the day
With hair cuts and nazis and holders of faith
These are the social protectors you bought
A perfect example of how money can talk

You'll never get us
We'll never give up

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out

Night has been conquered
By the morning

You scream to the beat of
Of the drum

I tried to escape
Without warning

Shot by the man with
With the gun

You'll never get us
We'll never give up

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out

Up against the wall was the battle cry
Up against the wall hold your hands up high
Up against the wall pull your pockets out
You gotta keep on top but you time has run out
