Backs To The Wall

We're going nowhere, nowhere fast
Hello?
What's happening?
Please tell me
Tell me
Why?

No jobs today, economics took them away
How did things get so bad?
We're not to blame, they have no shame
They tell you it's the best time that you've had

No work, no pay, nothing to do all day
Must keep my head together
We all have friends to help in the end
But nothing lasts forever

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down

Just like a knife into your life
Money talks just the same
Make your own way, have your say
Life is just a game

What can I do to get through to you?
Must keep my head together
We all have friends to help in the end
But nothing lasts forever

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down

We're going nowhere, nowhere fast
You want to shout, there's no way out
So much tension, so much fear
It's pressure's on, you're on your own

You know you must carry on
It's up to you to stay strong
You know you must carry on

What's happening?
Hello?
Please tell me

Money talks, bullshit walks
But nothing lasts forever
We all have friends to help in the end
Must keep my head together

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down

Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em get you down
Backs to the wall, stand up tall
Don't let 'em bring you down
