We're living in desperate times
These are desperate times my dear
There's no way out of here
There's no way out my dear

I've been holding back all my tears
Just so the pressure don't show
Like a time bomb ticking away
I might blow up some day

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
When my back's to the wall
I might take any chance at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything

You've got the upper hand
Well I've got nothing to lose
When I'm trapped in a corner like this
I might light the fuse

There's no way out of here
There's no way out my dear
Don't push me too far
You better watch what you do

When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all
When my back's to the wall
I might take any chance at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything, anything

Don't push me too far
You better run for your life

When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all
When my back's to the wall
I might take any chance at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all
When my back's to the wall
I might do anything at all

I've got nothing to lose, I might light a fuse
I've got nothing to lose, I might light a fuse
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Look out, look out
Don't come any closer
Look out, oh
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't come any closer
