Hammer to Fall

Here we (D)stand (A)and here we (D)fall,

history don't (E)care at (A)all.

Make the (D)bed,

light the light.

Yeah! Oh, Lady Mercy won't (E)be home (A)tonight.

You don't (E)waste no (D)time (A)at all.

Don't (D)hear that (A)bell but you answer the call.

Comes to (E)you as (D)to (A)us all.

Yeah! And it's time for the hammer to fall.

(E)Ev'ry night (D)(A)and ev'ry day,

(D)a little piece of you (E)is falling (A)away.

But lift your (D)face

the western way,

build your muscles as (E)your body (A)decays.

Toe your (E)line and (D)play their (A)game.

(D)Let the (A)anaesthetic cover it all.

Till one (E)day they (D)call (A)your name.

You know it's time for the hammer to fall.

(E)Rich or poor or (F#m)famous for your (E)truth,

it's all the (A)same.

(D)Oh (A)no, (G)oh (D)no.

Lock your door, but (F#m)rain is pouring (E)through your window (A)pane.

Oh no.

(E)Baby, now your struggle's all in vain.

(D)For (A)we who (D)grew up tall and proud,

(A)in (D)the shadow of the (E)mushroom (A)cloud.

Convinced our (D)voices can't be heard,

(A)we (D)just want to scream it (E)louder and (A)louder and louder.

What the (E)hell we (D)(A)fighting for?

(D)Just (A)surrender and it won't hurt at all.

Just got (E)time to (D)say (A)your prayers.

Then it's time for the hammer to,

hammer to fall.
