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.
