Hammer to Fall - Live at Wembley Stadium, 13th July 1985

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hammer to fall

Here we stand, here we fall
History don'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, yeah
And it's time for the hammer to fall

Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the Western way

Toe your line and play their game
'Til the anaesthetic covers it all
'Til one day they call your name, yeah
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 'cause rain is pouring
Through your window pane (oh no)
Baby, now your trouble's all in vain, oh, yeah

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 we fighting for?
Just surrender, and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
Then it's time for the hammer to, hammer to fall

Hammer to fall

Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, one more time

Waiting for the hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time
