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
Oh no Oh no
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Oh no
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 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 you're waiting
for the hammer to hammer to fall
I've been waiting
for the hammer to fall
While you're waiting
for the hammer to fall
Give it to me one more time
