Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We are living in desperate times

These are desperate times, my dear

There's no way out of here

There's no way out, my fear

[Verse 2]

I've been holdin' back all my tears

Just show the pressure don't show

Like a time bomb ticking away

I might blow up some day

[Verse 3]

Don't push, don't shove

You better watch what you do

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 4]

When my back's to the wall

I might take any chance at all

When my back's to the wall

The wall

I might do anything

[Verse 5]

You've got the upper hand

Well, I've got nothing to lose

Wen I'm trapped in a corner like this

I might light a fuse

[Verse 6]

There's no way out of here

There's no way out, my dear

[Verse 7]

Don't push, don't shove

You better watch what you do

When my back's to the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 8]

When my back's to the wall

Back to the wall

I might take any chance at all

When my back's to the wall

To the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 9]

When my back's to the wall

To the wall

I might anything, anything

[Verse 10]

Don't push too far

You better run for your life

When my back's to the wall

To the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 11]

When my back's to the wall

Back to the wall

I might take any chance at all

[Verse 12]

When my back's to the wall

Back to the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 13]

When my back's to the wall

To the wall

I might do anything at all

[Verse 14]

I've got nothing to lose

I might light a fuse

I've got nothing to lose

I might light a fuse

[Verse 15]

For years, for years

No, no, no, no

Don't come any closer

[Verse 16]

We go

Oh

For years

Oh, yo, yo, yo

Oh
