Hammer to fall
Here we stand or here we fallHistory won't care at allMake the bed light the lightLady mercy won't be home tonight yeah
You don't waste no time at allDon't hear the bell but you answer the callIt comes to you as to us allWe're just waitingFor the hammer to fall
Oh ev'ry night and every dayA little piece of you is falling awayBut lift your face the western wayBuild your muscles as your body decays yeah
Toe your line and play their game yeahLet the anaesthetic cover it allTill one day they call your nameYou know it's time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famousFor your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no)
Lock your door the rain is pouringThrough your window pane (oh no)Baby now your struggle's all in vain
For we who grew up tall and proudIn the shadow of the mushroom cloudConvinced our voices can't be heardWe just wanna scream it louder and louder louder
What the hell we fighting for?Just surrender and it won't hurt at allYou just got time to say your prayersWhile you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall
It's gonna fallHammer, you know, hammer to fall
While you're waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time
