Up Against The Wall The Fatback Band

Had a long day at the job
Big corporations are robbing us blind you know
They gave me a raise
But the tax man is gonna make sure I stay broke
They're gonna retire all the 30 year men
So they can hire little young bloods all over again
They're gonna pull a fast one on us
But you see I'm not stupid
I got to prove to myself that I can survive
I ain't gonna let nobody skin me alive
I'm gonna take all the madness and all the B.S
And I'm gonna take it all to the wall
Let's throw it up against the wall

Politicians lying, the whole world is trying to go gay
People are getting crazy every day
You know some damn fool might push the button
And blow all of us away
Every time I see somebody on the street
They're scared to death
I got to prove to myself I can survive
I can take it all, 'cause things ain't getting no better
They're only getting worse, but listen
When things get bad and things get worse
That's when the hell we get going
That's the only thing you know I can do
Yes I'm going to prove to myself
That I'm gonna take all the bull
'Cause that's all they're giving us
Hot air! Talking that yucky dark stuff
And expect us to believe it
That's right, to the wall
