[Intro] hammer down! [Verse 1] another face on another screen another promise for the machine shake my hand and call me friend till the cameras stop and the money comes in you print the lies we pay the price you draw the lines we roll the dice sitting high in your ivory room telling us the future's coming soon but every year we get the same old shit new fucking suit — same old politic [Pre-Chorus] who do you serve? who do you fear? who gets richer every fucking year? [Chorus] hammer down! tear the mask from the face of power hammer down! watch the empire start to cower you can buy your crown you can buy your name but you can't buy back the fucking flames hammer down! this is our last word [Verse 2] we watched you argue on the tv while the real world bled quietly left and right — same fucking show point the finger, steal the glow you sell fear we buy the lie you call it order we call it why? every election every speech another promise just out of reach and when the crowd starts asking why you change the subject and sell another lie [Pre-Chorus] who do you serve? who do you fear? who gets richer every fucking year? [Chorus] hammer down! tear the mask from the face of power hammer down! watch the empire start to cower you can buy your crown you can buy your name but you can't buy back the fucking flames hammer down! this is our last word [Bridge] twenty years of noise. thousands of nights. one final record. one final fucking fight. we've been told to shut up. we've been told to fall in line. we've been told our voices don't mean a fucking thing. so hear us now. [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] hammer down! tear the mask from the face of power hammer down! watch the empire start to cower you can buy your crown you can buy your name but you can't buy back the fucking flames hammer down! this is our last word! our last word! our last record! our last hammer down! [Outro] hammarhead— hammer down.
