Hammer

I’ll let you feel like you’re empowered
I’ll let you steal just like a coward
But when the hammer comes down
You’ll see that you have nothing
I’ll help you change your status
I’ll help you chase your haters
But when the hammer comes down
You’ll see I owe you nothing
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
And I will sing so sweetly ‘till you believe completely
If you sound the warning, you’ll be gone
I’ll let you be the story
So you can taste the glory
But when the glamour runs out
You’ll see you did it for me
I’ll give you keys for your freedom
But you’ll be far too hard at work to ever need them
And when the hammer comes down
You’ll see they opened nothing
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
And I will sing so sweetly ‘till you believe completely
If you sound the warning, you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
In the morning you’ll be gone
You’ll be gone
And you could shoot the sniper
And you could slay the viper
But when the hammer comes down
You always pay the piper
And when the hammer comes down
You’ll see you owe me everything
When the hammer comes down
You’ll see I owe you nothing
