Stand up, and with your hand on the Bible

Tell the truth to one and all

'Cause you know that feeling

When you've got your back against the wall.



My God, it's only Tuesday tomorrow

And "Loved One's" gone and blown it all

Now you've got no money and you feel your back against the wall.



Well if you talk to your brothers and they don't give a damn

And you look like you're gonna fall

You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.



Some Tripper's got you right in a corner

And you feel you're gonna lose it all

Now you don't want trouble but you feel your back's against the wall.



So the guy moves forward but you hold him away

Shit there's no one there to hear you call

So you take your chanches and you push him back against the wall.



Now the guy's in the gutter and you don't give a damn

And he looks kind of weak and small

'Cause you called his number when you felt your back against the wall.



Stand up, and with your hand on the Bible

Tell the truth to one and all

'Cause you know that feeling

When you've got your back against the wall.



Well if you talk to your brothers and they don't give a damn

And you look like you're gonna fall

You can call my number when you feel your back against the wall.
