This song does not make fun of religion nor is it about a penis. "Kim Deal explored and questioned her religious upbringing through "Hammer." "It's not fair that folk singers preach a happy message and the goodness of living off the land and 'If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning,'" Deal told Rolling Stone. "That doesn't exist. That's what I'm saying in 'Divine Hammer.' It's mainly about looking for something so hard through your life that people said was there. When I grew up and went to Sunday school, they said it was going to be really great … I believe everything everybody told me. And that's why I'm so pissed off now."
@typhoniancurrent Sometimes a song just hits you in a way, like this one did back when I was young. Only took me nearly 30 years to realize the truth behind these lyrics. Thanks
