Hammer To Fall - Remastered 2011

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

Lock your door the rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggles are 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

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 your waiting for the hammer to fall

It's gonna fall
Hammer, you know, hammer to fall

While you're waiting for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time
