"When The Hammer Strikes (Demo)" lyrics

Take my hand, mother
Tell me I don't have to go
I'll never play with guns again
Hold my hand, mother
Tell me once again that everything will be alright
Everything will be alright

'Cause when the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
You get what you deserve
When the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (Say oh-day-oh)

Eighteen years, mother
Eighteen years I'll never know
Tonight that I go
Just as any other who needs a dollar
But I killed a man for 25
Killed a man to stay alive
For nothing

'Cause when the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
You get what you deserve
When the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (Say oh-day-oh)

'Cause when the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
You get what you deserve
When the hammer strikes
When the hammer strikes down
Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (Say oh-day-oh)
