[00:17.750]Here we stand or here we fall
[00:21.250]History won't care at all
[00:24.590]Make the bed, light the light
[00:28.190]Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
[00:31.410]You don't waste no time at all
[00:35.150]Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
[00:38.350]It comes to you as to us all
[00:42.030]We are just waiting
[00:44.590]For the hammer to fall
[00:52.340]Oh every night, and every day
[00:55.810]A little piece of you is falling away
[00:59.300]But lift your face, the Western Way
[01:03.080]Build your muscles as your body decays
[01:05.890]Tow the line and play their game
[01:10.000]Let the anesthetic cover it all
[01:12.930]Until one day they call your name
[01:16.790]You know it is time for the hammer to fall
[01:26.640]Rich or poor or famous for
[01:29.790]Your truth is all the same (oh no, oh no)
[01:36.460]Lock your door but rain is pouring
[01:40.100]Through your window pane (oh no)
[01:45.080]Baby now your struggle's all vain
[02:10.010]For we who grew up tall and proud
[02:13.860]In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
[02:16.740]Convinced our voices can't be heard
[02:20.940]We just want to scream it louder and louder
[02:23.740]What the hell are we fighting for?
[02:27.280]Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
[02:30.210]You just got time to say your prayers
[02:34.020]While you are waiting for the hammer to, hammer to fall
[02:48.860]It's gonna fall
[03:31.230]Give it to me one more time
[03:40.930]Waiting for the hammer to fall now, baby
[03:57.610]Give it to me one more time
