When All You Got Is a Hammer

There's a bible on the table

There's a bottle on the shelf

There's a woman in the kiechen

Crying quietly to herself

Down the hallway,in the bedroom

He can hear his children wail

When all you got is a hammer

[02:44.68]Everything looks like a nail

Well he came home from the desert

With a medal on his chest

Like a hero,like a champion

But he felt more like a guest

Now he sleeps with one eye open

And he wakes up scares as hell

[02:41.10]And all he's got is a hammer

And everything looks like nail

[02:49.59]When they show you how to shoot and they show you how to kill

[02:55.84]But they don't show you what to di with this hole that you can't fill

[03:04.23]So you'd well in the darkness of you soul like jonah in the belly of the whale

[03:11.12]And all you got is a hammer and everything looks like a nail

When a good man in a bad dream

Can't make it on his own

When he can't feed his own damn children

On the money that he brings home

And the deck is stacked against him

And he knows he's bound to fail

Ye all you got is a hammer and everything looks like a nail
