Hammer Songtext
von Shovels & Rope

They shut my water off
I′ve got a nasty cough
But I'm out here every day with my hammer
My arms hurt
My legs hurt
But I′m out here every day with my hammer

Two thousand five
Two thousand eight
Out here every day with my hammer
Too tired to fight
Too mad to hate
I'm out here every day with my hammer

Moaning like a dog
In a collar in a cage
I'm out here every day with my hammer
Ears in a fog
Holler in a haze
Out here every day with my hammer


Hard to understand
How things are ever gonna change
Out here every day with my hammer
From the bible to the Beatles
To the way we get paid
Out here every day with my hammer

Thoughts and prayers
Idle hands blank stares
Out here every day with my hammer
Nobody does nothing
But everybody cares

They say they′re out here every day with their hammer
The stars at night are big and bright
I′m out here every day with my hammer
Boss how long?
Boss how high?
I'm out here every day with my hammer

Build it from the west
To the east
To the sky
Out here everyday with my hammer
Don′t make no face
Don't start no fight
Give everything you have to your hammer
