ERock gets hot, now she can't stop
G#mShe's a lot, a lot Alike a robot
G#mAnd she Ecan't be bought, and her nerves are shot
And she G#mstarts to rot, from the Ainside out
G#mShe said I Edon't need you to save me,
but there's G#mpeople here trying to Ablame me
G#mAnd there's Eno jobs that will pay me, 
G#menough to feed my Afamily
And BI got my Aback up against the Ewall 
And BI got my Aback up against the Ewall 
And Ano one hears her Ecall 
Cause there's Ano one there at Eall
And BI got my back up against the Ewall 
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 
C#mNow where have Ball the good times Egone
(ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! ALC#mRIGHT!)
But something Bhere is going Ewrong
SOLO
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
