The Hammer Lyrics
Let the killer go, don't let your mother know,
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight,
'Cos I can see, I've got the thing you need,
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way,
Don't try to run, don't try to scream,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna smash your dream
I'm in your life, just might be in your wife,
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track,
And it might be true, I might be onto you,
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath,
Don't try to see, don't try to hide,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna make you die
There ain't no way, you'll see another day,
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night,
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick,
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go,
Don't try to hide, don't look around,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna bring you down
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight,
'Cos I can see, I've got the thing you need,
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way,
Don't try to run, don't try to scream,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna smash your dream
I'm in your life, just might be in your wife,
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track,
And it might be true, I might be onto you,
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath,
Don't try to see, don't try to hide,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna make you die
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night,
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick,
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go,
Don't try to hide, don't look around,
Believe me, The Hammer's gonna bring you down

great! such a meaningfull song and no comments :(
"don't let your mother know"
such lyrics deserve to be interpreted, pls guys....
This song is just bad-ass! Great song. About being tough and kickin' ass I reckon.
It's about a stalked/serial killer. But it's more of a fun song than a serious song.
Probably about some killer that uses a hammer, but yeah, classic Motorhead badassery.
HEROIN ! ! ! Its about how HEROIN will absoloutly FUCK you're life in any which way possible and then probably KILL YOU.
Its about drugs - heroin addiction aka Hammer. Lemmy is very anti heroin. Once its got you in its grip its gonna take you down, fuck up your life and theres nothing u can do about it. Metallica has even pinched the line "smash your dream" for Master of puppets, which is also about drugs.
don't let your mother know - all junkies try to hide it at first, too ashamed to have their mother find out.
