Yeah 
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 
Hey, we're just waiting 
For the hammer to fall - yeah 

Oh every night, and every day 
A little piece of you is falling away 
But lift your face, the western way, baby 
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 - yeah 

Rich or poor or famous for 
Your truth it's all the same - oh no - oh no 
Oh lock your door but rain is pouring 
Through your window pane - oh no - yeah 
Baby now your struggle's all vain 

Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 

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 ? 
Ah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all 
You just got time to say your prayers 
Eh, while you're waiting for the hammer to hammer to fall 
Hey, yes, it's starting to fall eh, hammer, you know 
Yeah, hammer to fall, wooh, ah, hey, eh woowoo, ha eh hammer 
Waiting for the hammer to fall baby 
Yeah yeah while you're waiting for the hammer to fall 
Give it to me one more time
