Hammer
There's a hole in the roofAnd the dust that's pouring throughMeans you want to buildThe world again from scratch
'Cause nothing moved means nothing foundBut there's a sadness in the soundAs the walls crackAnd the scenes change so fast
If you had a hammerYou would knock the whole thing downBut tell me how you'll build againWith what is left of all you've spent?
Beware the time in your lifeWhen you feel you have to fightAnd you know your wordsNo longer mean enough
There's not a whisper to be foundAs you're marching to the soundOf the wheels turnAnd the walls tumble down
If you had a hammerYou could knock this whole thing downBut tell me will you build againWhen all is lost and all is spent?
Knock things down to start againSo you tear it up to find escapeYou'd do anything just to bring this downCall it a sinking ship. You set the sun
You want a way out you're begging for itThere's no chance of your escapeYou'd buy your way out, sell everythingBut there's nothing left of all we've built
If you had a hammerYou could knock this whole thing downBut tell me will you build againWhen all is lost and all is spent?
Oh, if you had a dollarYou would hide yourself awayBut in your silence find some senseThat there is no one else to lame
I found you out, you set the sunFalling farI found you out, you set the sunThere's no way out
I found you out and inside the sunI found you out, I found you out
