Up Against the Wall

Lyrics

The people who live 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 neighborhood's 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, boy, your time has run out Everyone's hungry for a piece of the day When handcuffs and nightsticks were held in their face These are the social protectors you bought A perfect example of how money can talk We'll they're after 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, boy, your time has run out Night has been covered with morning You scream to the beat of, of the drum I tried to escape without warning I was shot by the man with, with a gun We'll they're after us, but 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, boy, your 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, boy, your 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, boy, your 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, boy, your time has run out
