Hammer Falls - Foetus

When I throw you out of my speeding truck

I’ll give you a soft shoulder to cry on

Gasoline roar — four on the floor

Airbags to give you a little something to die on

Sorry I’m not one in a million

Hafta make do 'til it wears out

I happen to have an opinion

Got a lot but it’s all in escrow

Fill your own void — I’m empty

Thru with charades and empty shells

Empty skulls housed in haircuts

Couldn’t even clean a sink to save yourself

Fill in the blanks

Don’t return my calls

I dread what may be an intimacy

And the hammer falls

THE HAMMER FALLS

Fill your own void — I’m empty

Thru with charades and empty shells

Full of fibrosis

An inadequate diagnosis

For the creakin' old arthritis

Lumberin lumbago

And the heartbreak of psoriasis

(Thank you, Dr. Zizmor!)

Sorry I’m not one in a million

Hafta make do 'til it wears out

I happen to have an opinion

Fill your own void — I’m empty

Thru with charades and empty shells

Empty skulls housed in haircuts

Couldn’t even clean a sink to save yourself

Fill in the blanks

They won’t return my calls

Keep it to yourself

In the BACK of the shelf

And the hammer falls

THE HAMMER FALLS

The lousy guilt backfires on me

Wish it was easy

Been all I can be

But the hammer falls

The hammer falls — THE HAMMER FALLS

I admit it ain’t much — but you better get used to it

It ain’t a pretty sight but it’s all I got

I’m me — not free

Sittin' round watching that hammer fall

I’m one in a million

I got an opinion

And the hammer falls

The hammer falls

Stay free — I wish it was easy

It backfires on me — and the hammer falls

You be you — you ain’t me

I may not be free — but stop manacling me

Been all I can be

And watchin' the hammer fall

I’m one in a million

I got an opinion

And the hammer falls

The hammer falls

The warranty ran out a long time ago

And the hammer falls

Been all I can be

And the hammer falls
