Hammer Man

Hammer man comin’ downtown today
To build a tower up to heaven
Gotta aim high, gotta swing away
Gonna blacken the eyes of the world

Tell me Hammer Man, are you less or more for real?
Listen to me Hammer Man, you can’t hold me in your glass and steel

Hammer man standin’ in the sky today
Shakin’ his fist up at heaven
Curses the wind and the rain and the passing of day

Tell me Hammer man, are you feeling more or less
Listen to me Hammer man, I see through your steel and glass

Hammer man’s lyin’ in his grave today
Shut his eyes off from heaven
They laid his hammer down beside him in the ground
Cause’ they seen the eyes of the world
Starin' them down
