Hammer to Fall (Live)

Hammer to fall!

Hey!

Here we stand, here we fall

History don't care at all

Make the bed, light the light

Lady Mercy won't be home tonight

You don't waste no time at all

Don't hear the bell but you answer the call

Comes to you as to us all

Then it's time for the hammer to fall

Every night, every day

A little piece of you is fallin' away

Lift your face, the western way, baby

Build your muscles till your body decays

Toe your line and play their game

Till the anaesthetic covers it all

Till one day they call your name

Then 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, no

Lock your door 'cause rain is pourin'

Through your window pane

(Oh, no)

Baby, now your struggle's all in vain

Woah, yeah

Oh, you who grew up tall and proud

In the shadow of the mushroom cloud

Convinced our voices can't be heard

Just want to scream it louder and louder

What the hell we fightin' for?

Just surrender and it won't hurt at all

Just got time to say your prayers

Then it's time for the hammer to, hammer to fall

Yeah, yeah

Oh

Oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Ha!

Ha!

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Waitin' for the hammer

Hammer to, hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time

Uh-huh

This shitty guitar never plays

The chords I want it to play

It only knows three chords

But let's see what happens

This is for all, er

You lovely, crazy people out there
