against the grain 

1. ingilizcede doğal olana karşı olan,eşyanın tabiatına aykırı olan,konuşma dili içinse,olmayan birşeye tekabül eden, yok böyle bir şey anlamına gelen sözcük grubu.ayrıca contents under pressure * albümünden bir şarkıdır,sözleri de şöyledir:
   man went on a mission
   to save the day
   he started a militia
   called crime does pay
   everywhere he went
   the crowds would gather 'round
   as he posted propaganda
   all throughout the town
   violence everywhere
   blame the government
   show us that you care
   how's the money spent ?
   said it once before
   that ignorance is bliss
   and media's a whore
   all because of this
   prison you made
   it's built to last
   how can you stoop so low
   the fate of our futures in the past
   there's nowhere for us to go but
   against the grain
   politics is business
   and business sucks
   extortion is the key
   to making bigger bucks
   judges taking bribes
   while golfing on the green
   while the lawyers get some grease
   to oil their machine
   promise everywhere
   none they'll ever keep
   justice isn't fair
   pockets gettin deep
   patience running out
   the people gettin' pissed
   we never had a doubt
   they'd wash their hands of the
   prison you made
   it's built to last
   how can you stoop so low
   the fate of our futures in the past
   there's nowhere for us to go but
   against the grain
   i got armor on my back
   and eyes in the back of my head
   so behold the overthrow
