Bring Down the Hammer Lyrics

I'm gonna bring down the hammer, swing it righteous wrong or right
Well I held on like a child to a dream [unknown]
One thousand [unknown], just bought and sold
Seems like I carried a torch for nothing

I'm a fool with an empty crown
Even a fool woke up now there's a devil ahead
[unknown]
I've been living like a blind man, I've just seen the light

And I'm gonna bring down the hammer swing it righteous wrong or right
And now you stole the promise, left without an answer why
But that's alright I'm damn sure [unknown] tonight
And I don't care what's coming next

I got answers in my head
Whatever's left by morning's likely where I'll make my stay
Well I've been living like a blind man
And I've just seen the light

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.
