You got me in a corner
You got me against the wall
I got nowhere to go
I got nowhere to fall
Take back your insurance
Baby nothin's guaranteed
Take back your acid rain
Baby let your tv bleed
{Chorus}:
You're jammin' me, you're jammin' me
Quit jammin' me
Baby you can keep me
Painted in a corner
You can look away but it's not over
Take back your angry slander
Take back your pension plan
Take back your ups and
Downs of your life
In raisin land
Take back Vanessa Redgrave
Take back Joe Piscopo
Take back Eddie Murphy
Give 'em all someplace to go
{Chorus}
Take back your Iranian torture
And the apple in young Steve's eye
Yeah, take back your losing streak
Check your front wheel drive
Take back Pasadena
Take back El Salvador
Take back that country club
