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 Comes to you as to us all, yeah 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, yeah baby (oh no, oh no) Oh, lock your door but rain is pouring Through your window pane, yeah (oh no) Baby now your struggle's all in vain
For he who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the mushroom cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard We just want to scream it louder and louder and louder
What the hell we fighting for? Yeah, just surrender and it won't hurt at all, baby Just got time to say your prayers, hey While you're waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall
Hey
Woooohh Hey, yeah Wow, wow Ha Ey, eh Waiting for the hammer to fall, hey, baby Yeah, yeah While you're waiting for the hammer to fall
