Rock gets hot, now she can?t stop 
G#m                A             G#m 
She?s a lot, a lot like a robot 
        E                     
And she can?t be bought, and her nerves are shot 
        G#m                     A           G#m  
And she starts to rot, from the inside out 
           E 
She said I don?t need you to save me, 
            G#m                   A         G#m 
but there?s people here trying to blame me 
            E 
And there?s no jobs that will pay me,  
G#m               A 
enough to feed my family 
 
 
 
    B        A                   E 
And I got my back up against the wall  
    B        A                   E  
And I got my back up against the wall  
    A                E 
And no one hears her call  
              A               E 
Cause there?s no one there at all 
    B                            E 
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  
 
C#m            B                  E 
Now where have all the good times gone 
                              C#m 
(ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!) 
              B             E 
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
