Hammer to Fall

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.
 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
 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 but rain is pouring
 Through your window pane
 Baby now your struggle's all 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
 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
 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 you're waiting for the Hammer to Fall.
