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
Everyones 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
