Rock gets hot now she can?t stop She?s a lot a lot like a robot And she can?t be bought and her nerves are shot And she starts to rot from the inside out She said I don?t need you to save me but there?s people here trying to blame me And there?s no jobs that will pay me enough to feed 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 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 Now where have all the good times gone (ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT!) But something here is going wrong (ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT) SOLO 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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une lutte intense et désespérée face à l’adversité. Elle parle d'une personne qui se sent piégée et acculée, confrontée à un manque de soutien et à une pression sociale énorme. Malheureusement, les opportunités d'emploi se sont évaporées, laissant place à la misère et à la désillusion. Dans ce contexte, on ressent une profonde frustration face à une situation sans issue, où l'espoir semble absent. La narratrice exprime le désir d'échapper à cette réalité, mais elle se retrouve isolée, sans personne pour l'entendre. C'est une représentation puissante des difficultés contemporaines et des luttes silencieuses de tant de gens.
