Hammer To Fall

Here we stand or here we fall

History won't care at all

Make the bed light the light

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

Oh ev'ry 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

Toe your line and play their game yeah

Let the anaesthetic cover it all

Till one day they call your name

You know it's time for the hammer to fall

Rich or poor or famous

For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no)

Lock your door the rain is pouring

Through your window pane (oh no)

Baby now your struggle's 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 louder

What the hell we fighting for?

Just surrender and it won't hurt at all

You just got time to say your prayers

While your waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall

It's gonna fall

Hammer..you know..hammer to fall

Waiting for the hammer to fall now baby

While you're waiting for the hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time
