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
