"Hammer" lyrics - SHOVELS & ROPE

SHOVELS & ROPE
"Hammer"

They shut my water off
I got a nasty cough
I'm out here every day with my hammer
My arms hurt
My legs hurt
I'm out here every day with my hammer
2005
2008
Out here every day with my hammer
Two, two, five
Two, nine, two, eight
I'm out here every day with my hammer

[Refrain:]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Moaning like a dog
In a collar in a cage
I'm out here every day with my hammer
Years in a fog
In a holler, in a haze
I'm out here every day with my hammer
I don't understand how things are ever gonna change
I'm out here every day with my hammer
From the Bible to the Beatles
To the "When we get paid?"
I'm out here every day with my hammer

[Refrain:]
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Thoughts and prayers
Idle hands, blank stares
I'm out here every day with my hammer
Nobody does nothing
But everybody cares
I'm out here every day with my hammer
The stars at night
Are big and bright
I'm out here every day with my hammer
"Boss, how long?"
And "Boss, how high?"
I'm out here every day with my hammer
Building from the west
To the east, to the sky
I'm out here every day with my hammer
Don't make no face
Don't start no fight
Give everything you have to your hammer
