Rancid

Rancid is an American punk rock band formed in Berkeley, California in 1991. Founded by 80s punk veterans Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman, both of whom previously played in the highly influential ska punk band Operation Ivy, Rancid is credited—along with Green Day and The Offspring—for reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid-1990s. Unlike Green Day and The Offspring however, Rancid remained signed to an independent record label and retained much of its original fan-base, most of which was connected to its underground roots. more »

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 play 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

Alarm clock ringing, fools are creeping
Promises broken, yeeh, jobs are leavin
And the sky is darkening and the landlords stepping
But the bus is splitting 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)

Why even bother, when you getting clobbered
Nowhere is safe and sound, off the sweat they will profit
The youth they are robbing, 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 they'll grind 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
