The Hammer Song [Kicking Against The Pricks]
Oh, please don't send me out
Said the man with the hammer, hammering the anvil
I been walking on a road of rocks
And I keep on hammering, keep on hammering, keep on hammering
Hammering the anvil
Don't let the sun go down
Said the man with the fire, firing the furnace
I've been buried in the snow
And I keep on firing, keep on firing, keep on firing
Firing the furnace
Oh, don't talk to me
Said the man with the chisel, chiseling the surface
I been sleeping far too long
And I keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling, keep on chiseling
Chiseling the surface
I don't know what you mean
Said the man with the shovel, shoveling the ashes
I been digging in the frozen ground
And I keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling, keep on shoveling
Shoveling the ashes
Chiseling the surface
Firing the furnace
Hammering the anvil
Hammering the anvil
Firing the furnace
Chiseling the surface
Shoveling the ashes
Hammering the anvil
Hammering the anvil
Oh, don't send me out
Yeah, hammering the anvil
Yeah, hammering the anvil
(Don't talk to me)
(I don't know what you mean) hammering the anvil
Shoveling the ashes
(I don't know what you mean)
Chiseling the surface (oh, don't send me out)
Firing the furnace (don't let the sun go down)
Chiseling the surface (oh, don't talk to me)
Hammering the anvil (oh, don't talk to me)
Oh, hammering the anvil (I don't know what you mean)
Oh, hammering the anvil (I don't know what you mean)
Shoveling the surface (oh, don't send me out)
Hammering the furnace (don't let the sun go down)
Hammering the anvil (oh, don't let the sun go down)
Yeah, hammering the anvil (oh, don't send me out)
Yeah, hammering the anvil (oh, please don't send me out)
Oh, hammering the anvil (don't send me out)
Yeah, hammering the anvil (don't talk to me)
Yeah, hammering the anvil (don't talk to me)
