Here we fall
History won't care at all
Make the bed
Light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
(We 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
Every night
And every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the western way
Build your muscles as your body decays
(Tow your line and play the game)
Let the anesthetic cover it all
(Til one day they call your name)
You know it's time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famous for
To you it's all the same
(oh no oh no)
Lock your door
But the rain is pouring through the window pane
(oh no oh no)
Baby now your struggles are all in vain yeah
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
(What the hell we fighting for?)
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
(Just got time to say your prayers)
While your waiting for the hammer to fall
