Lyrics Under The Hammer - Gil Scott-Heron, Brian Jackson

Under The Hammer

Good advice is sure enough hard to come by
Bad advice surrounds you constantly
Good advice you just can’t put no price on
Bad advice is easy cus it’s free
But Through it all somehow we’re different
We think theres nothing to it so we plunge faithfully through it
No matter how hard it rains if we don’t profit from the change
We’re under the hammer totally
(talkin' bout) Under the hammer from the day yous born
Under the hammer and out there on your own
Good advice don’t make it if theres no one there to take it
You’re just under the hammer totally
Now I meant to tell you something about the drinkin'
Yeah But you don’t want to hear a word I say
Naw and You don’t care what I’ve been thinking
Because you control things your own way
And since you’ve got things under control
There ain’t nothing to it ain’t no reason you should do it
No matter how hard it rains if we don’t profit from the change
You’re back under the hammer totally
Under the hammer from the day yous born
Under the hammer and out there on your own
Good advice don’t make it if theres no one there to take it
You’re just under the hammer totally
Good advice is sure enough hard to come by
When bad advice surrounds you constantly
Good advice you just can’t put no price on
And bad advice is easy cus its free
And through it all somehow we’re different
We think theres nothing to it so we plunge faithfully through it
And No matter how hard it rains if we don’t profit from the change
We’re under the hammer totally
You’re under the hammer from the day you was born
Under the hammer and out there on your own
Good advice don’t make it if there’s no one there to take it
You’re just under the hammer totally
Under the hammer from the day you was born
Ain’t no surprising you now you’re full grown
Under the hammer from the day yous born
Ain’t no surprising you now that you’re full grown
Good advice don’t make it if there’s no one there to take it
You’re just under the hammer totally
Location baby
Under the hammer
