Hammer to Fall (Live) Lyrics

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
Comes to you as to us all
Then it's time for the hammer to fall

Every night and every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the western way, baby
Build your muscles till your body decays

Toe your line and play their game
Till the anaesthetic covers it all
Till one day they call your name
Then 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

Oh, you who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
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
Just got time to say your prayers
Then it's time for the hammer to, hammer to fall

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Waiting for the hammer to hammer to, hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time
