Hammer to Fall

Yeah!






Here we stand or here we fall

History won't care at all

Make the bed, light the light yeah

Lady Mercy won't be home tonight, yeah






You don't waste no time at all

Don't hear the bell but you answer the call

It comes to you as to us all

We're just waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah






Oh, every night and every day

A little piece of you is falling away

But lift your face, the Western Way

Build your muscles as your body decays, yeah






Tow the line and play their game

Yeah, let the anesthetic cover it all

Until one day they call your name

You know it's time for the hammer to fall






Rich or poor or famous

For your truth is all the same (Oh no, oh no)

Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring

Through your window pane (Oh no)

Baby, baby, now your struggle is all in vain






For we who grew up tall and proud

In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud

Convinced our voices can't be heard

We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder






What the hell are we fighting for?

Oh, just surrender and it won't hurt at all

You just got time to say your prayers

While you are waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall






Hey, it's...

It's gonna fall

Hammer, you know

Yeah, hammer to fall

Woo!

Yeah, yeah

Woo, woo!

Ha! Hey!

Waiting for the hammer to fall now, baby

Yeah, yeah

While you're waiting for the hammer to fall, ooh

Give it to me one more time!
