Circle Jerks are a punk rock band formed circa 1979 in Hermosa Beach, California. Lead vocalist Keith Morris was an original member of Black Flag, co-founding the band with Greg Ginn and recording the Nervous Breakdown EP with them before suddenly departing the group in 1979. Morris formed Circle Jerks along with guitarist Greg Hetson, bassist Roger Rogerson (a classically trained guitarist), and drummer Lucky Lehrer. They, along with such bands as Black Flag and Bad Religion, were among the preeminent punk bands of the L.A. scene in the early '80s.

Back Against The Wall Lyrics
Circle Jerks
you yell out in defiance
you're backed up against the wall
they're up there clutching their guns and
it makes you feel real small
so you can cuss, spit, throw bottles
broken glass
but it all ends up with handcuffs on you hands
you run around and spray paint
graffiti on everybody's wall
you think that's bitchin man
that ain't nothing at all!
so you can cuss,spit,throw bottles
broken glass
but it ends up with a swift kick to your ass
