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 is falling away
But lift your face the western way-
Build your muscles as your body decays
Toe your line and play the game
Let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
You konw it's time for the hammer to fall
Rich or poor or famous for
Your trouth is all the same
Lock your door but the rain is pouring
Through your window pane
Baby now your struggle's all in vain
For we who grow up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voice can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder
What the hell we fighting for
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
You just got time to say your prayers
While you're waiting the hammer to fall
