Hammer In My Hand

So much trouble in this time
 So many stairs to climb
 You built your house upon the sand
 I know that it won't stand
 Got my hammer in my hand
 Takes rocks and gravel, don't it
 To build that wall around it
 The rock's so high, baby
 'Til I can't get over it
 Still so many hands to hold
 And lies I have not told
 I let my conscience by my guide
 When there's no one to confide
 I feel it start to slide
 Takes rocks and gravel, don't it
 To build that wall around it
 The rock's so high, baby
 'Til I can't get over it
 And the rock's so hard, mama
 I had to hammer all night to break it
 It's the thing that I can't have, baby
 That makes me want to take it
 So much trouble in this time
 So many stairs to climb
 All my will at my command
 Trying to prove that I'm a man
 Got my hammer in my hand
 Takes rocks and gravel, don't it
 To build that wall around it
 The rock's so high, baby
 'Til I can't get over it
 And the rock's so hard, mama
 I had to hammer all night to break it
 It's the thing that I can't have, baby
 That makes me want to take it
 It makes me want to take it
 If it takes all night
