Verse 1
Here we stand, here we fall, history don-t care at all
Make the bed, light the light; lady mercy won-t be home tonight
Chorus
You don-t waste no time at all, don-t hear the bell but you answer the
Call. Comes to you and to us all, while you-re waiting for the Hammer
Fall.

Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
Toe your line and play the game, let the anaesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name, you know it-s time for the Hammer to fall
Link
Rich or poor or famous but your truth; it-s all the same Oh No Oh No
Lock your door but rain is pouring through the windowpane Oh No
Baby, now your struggles are in vein

Verse 3
You who grew up tall and proud, in the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can-t be heard, so we want to scream it louder and louder and louder
Chorus 3
What the hell we fighting for? Just surrender and it won-t hurt us all
Just got time to say your prayers, while your waiting for the Hammer to
Hammer to fall

Give it to me one more time.
Some of the lyrics may be a bit off; I did this transcription by ear only, lyrics and chords. I would have tabbed the solo but I can-t play lead guitar. Any comments, don-t hesitate.
