| 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
|
| 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 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
|
| Tow the line and play their game
|
| 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 but rain is pouring
|
| Through your window pane
|
| (Oh no!)
|
| Baby, now your struggle’s all 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?
|
| Just surrender and it won’t hurt at all
|
| You just got time to say your prayers
|
| While you’re waiting for the hammer to—hammer to fall
|
| Yeah! |
| Yes
|
| Let’s get on the floor!
|
| Yeah! |
| Hammer!
|
| You know
|
| Hammer to fall!
|
| Yeah!
|
| I’ve been waiting for the hammer to fall!
|
| While you’re waiting for the hammer to fall
|
| Give it to me one more time! |
