Think it's time we pick the hammer up
From those who've had to swing it long enough
Too much hatred and too much pain
For us not to swing that thing
Think it's time we pick the hammer up
Think it's time we sing a different tune
Nothing's gonna change 'til we do
Murder in the streets, illegal wars
That's what angry songs are for
Think it's time we sing a different tune
Our necks are sore from years and years
Of turning a blind eye
Hiding's over and it's high time
To let that hammer fly
Think it's time we pick the hammer up
Lords and ladies drink from their golden cups
When all the ones who are keeping score
Aim to keep us sick and poor
Then I think it's time we pick the hammer up
Yes I do

Well Joe Strummer, Steve Earle and Bob Dylan

Showed us what to do
Take that hammer from Woody's hand
'Cause our machines can kill fascists too
Think it's time we pick the hammer up
From those who've had to swing it long enough
Too much hatred, too much pain
For us not to go and swing that thing
Think it's time we pick the hammer up
Think it's time we pick the hammer up
