The Be Good Tanyas

Up Against the Wall
c. 2000 Ford




Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again

She is 12 years old
Nothing she don't know
She says you're 32 but you wanna be 16

I know that you did not receive
What it was that you needed when you were
growing
But tell me what's the worth
You're repeating history verse by verse

What do you prove
No matter what you say I think you'll lose
you'll lose
You'll lose her

Up against the wall
You don't stand so tall
Better run run run put your armor on again

Isn't it time we recognized that we all live
such broken lives sometimes
And it's sad but true that you still carry so
much with you
