Arm and Hammer Lyrics

Amanda said you have to go
Amanda said it's time to go
She said I'm tired of being homeless, restless.
I confess
I am wrong

Listen, we are
Listen, we are
Listen, we are
We're
All
Talk
Talk

Mission we're on
Mission we're on
Mission we're on
Big
Dumb
Cock
Cock

Heaven be good
Heaven be good
Heaven be good
Hell
Stand
Up
Up

Mission we're on
Mission we're on
Mission we're on
Big
Dumb
Cock

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

no one has commented this so i will. this song is about war... it's pretty obviously an anti-war song.

I disagree. While hey do have a lot of war imagery in their earlier songs, and yeah they seem pretty anti-war so I do think some of that filters in here, I do think mostly this is about the different attitudes from a girl and a guy.

just the beginning sounds so sad and solemn like a break up between and a guy and a girl. the rest sounds like a march - yes like a military march- and chant about men and their conquering ways.

the ending with the "hey baby hey baby" sounds like men trying to pick up women. Albeit, with a poor mentality towards women.
