Came across this a while back… They actually use the “up against the wall” phrase on the song. I hadn’t thought Jefferson Airplane were all that radical, but it’s certainly a nice tune, along with the whole Volunteers album (obviously a reference to the Vietnam War). It seems the guitarist/vocalist Paul Kantner, who wrote/borrowed the lyrics from the “Motherfucker” John Sundstrom, was fairly left-wing.
