No Going Back!

With its back to the wall the snake attacks
as do dirty rats and desp'rate felons,
as it slowly dawns there's no going back,

And if they think, they know their futures black,
then attack with tooth, nail, claw and venom,
with its back to the wall the snake attacks.

Of self preservation, they have no lack,
and fight and fight till they or danger, gone,
as it slowly dawns there's no going back

They'll squirm, weave and wriggle through any crack
their slipperiness makes up for no brawn
with their back to the wall the snake attacks.

You can't cut such creatures an inch of slack
they'll bite the hand that feeds them, on and on,
as it slowly dawn's there's no going back

Call pest control, to get snake and rat whacked,
Policeman to jail convicted felons,
For with backs to the wall those snakes attack
As it slowly dawns, there's no going back...
