(May) 


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
