Queen
Hammer to Fall (Live at Rock in Rio Festival, January 1985)
[Intro]
Yeah!
Aye, aye, aye
Okay, "Hammer To Fall"
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Here we stand, here we fall
History don't care at all
Make the bed, light the light
Lady Mercy won't be home tonight
[Chorus 1]
You don't waste no time at all
Don't hear the bell but you answer the call
Comes to you as to us all
And it's time for the hammer to fall, yeah
[Verse 2]
Every night, every day
A little piece of you is falling away
Lift your face, the Western Way, babe
Build your muscles till your body decays
[Chorus 2]
Tow your line and play their game
Till the anesthetic cover it all
Till one day they call your name
Then it's time for the hammer to fall
[Bridge]
Rich or poor or famous
For your truth is all the same (Oh no), oh no (Oh no)
Lock your door but rain is pouring
Through your window pane (Oh no), whoo!
Baby, now your struggle's all in vain
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the Mushroom Cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
Just wanna scream it louder and louder and
[Chorus 3]
What the hell we fighting for?
Just surrender and it won't hurt at all
Just got time to say your prayers
Till it's time for the hammer to, hammer to fall
[Outro]
Hey
Going to fall
Going to fall, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Waiting for the hammer to fall, yeah
Give it to me one more time!
