The people who lived on the side of the tracks Live with hara**ment with the man on their a** 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
