"Hammer" lyrics

"Hammer"

He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer's coming down
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer nail is on him now (down)

I am not the woman that you think I am
I swallow up a mountain and I'm quiet as a clam
Saturday and Sunday in the poisoned air
Oh and every day I walk by I forget the poison's there

He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer's coming down
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer nail is on him now (down)

I'll tell you about the lad that broke our teeny little town down
I'll tell you about the bodies stumbled on the battleground
Enter an apartment in the shadow of the house
Cruel is just a rule on the [?] mouse

Freddie went and called and he did right
Never left a smoke without a pistol by his side
He lied, it was a fantasy life
He knew he'd have to kill to keep me as his wife
Burn up by the sleep in a self made sound
Living in a dream while the whole world drowns
Lullaby to sleep in the man made eye
Living in a dream while the whole world tries

And he won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He won't get off my back
He doesn't see the hammer nail is on him now (down)
