Hammer Down Lyrics by XIII

Salt

1994

[Verse 1]
To the line between wrong and right
Trained to find out on wich side
Careless youth who slipped to slide
We´re not given chance to fight

[Pre-Chorus]
It´s too late
Prejudice rules
Too late
Guilty as charged

[Chorus]
Call them selves civilized
Enforcers of right
Hammer down
Prejudice ruthless laws
Sentenced to the dark
Hammer down

[Verse 2]
Didn´t like the way you look
So obviously you are a crook
To those whose noses is stuck in a book
So you´re thrown into the nook

[Chorus]
Call them selves civilized
Enforcers of right
Hammer down
Prejudice ruthless laws
Sentenced to the dark
Hammer down

[Bridge]
There is no room for variety
Inside a small society
So sore eyes want all odds taken away
Sure you did have some defence
But you were not given chance
Sore ears don´t like hearing what you say
They lock closed all their senses
They locked you away on chances
They open up for lies and trends
So all we can do is wish you well
In the place you´re gonna dwell
Till it´s over
Till it´s over
Till it´s over
See you when it´s over
