Up Against the Wall (Tom Robinson Band)

Darkhaired dangerous schoolkids Vicious, suspicious sixteen Jet-black blazers at the bus stop Sullen, unhealthy and mean Teenage guerillas on the tarmac Fighting in the middle of the road Supercharged FS1Es on the asphalt The kids are coming in from the cold Look out, listen can you hear it Panic in the County Hall Look out, listen can you hear it Whitehall (got us) up against a wall Up against the wall... High wire fencing on the playground High rise housing all around High rise prices on the high street High time to pull it all down White boys kicking in a window Straight girls watching where they gone Never trust a copper in a crime car Just whose side are you on? Look out, listen can you hear it Panic in the County Hall Look out, listen can you hear it Whitehall (got us) up against a wall Up against the wall... Consternation in Brixton Rioting in Notting Hill Gate Fascists marching on the high street Carving up the welfare state Operator get me the hotline Father can you hear me at all? Telephone kiosk out of order Spraycan writing on the wall Look out, listen can you hear it Panic in the County Hall Look out, listen can you hear it Whitehall got us up against a wall Up against the wall...
