Hammer and Peach |
| I don’t remember |
| How we came together |
| But never in a month of murders would I have imagined the state we’ve reached |
| And yet when we came together like a hammer and peach |
| I don’t remember |
| How we got surrendered |
| To somebody’s hand-me-down hatred |
| That thinks with its feet while its foot’s in the door |
| And yet when we come together we make such a civil war |
| You have to be naked to get clean |
| You have to be wicked to know what wickedness means |
| You have to be holy to know which way folks lean |
| And put the madonna and child on a float wearing union jack jeans |
| I don’t remember |
| How we crossed the embers |
| Not by asking the rich and the powerful |
| How these beggars strike their good will |
| And yet when we come together they say the saints feel ill |
| I don’t remember |
| How they tarred and feathered |
| The ones with the longest memories along with the ones they forgot to teach |
| And yet when we came together like a hammer and peach |
| You have to be naked to get clean |
| You have to be wicked to know what wickedness means |
| You have to be holy to know which way folks lean |
| And put the madonna and child on a float wearing union jack jeans |
| Union jack jeans |
| I don’t remember |
| How we came to be together |
| But never in a month of murders would i have imagined these states we’ve reached |
| And yet when we come together, and yet we’ll come together, and yet we’ll come |
| together together like a hammer and peach |
| Like a hammer and peach |
| I don’t remember |
| Yet we’ll come together (repeat to fade) |
