Lyrics
Hammer Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Step into a world of strangers
Into a sea of unknowns
Even friends potential danger
Secrets wound around their bones
Everybody else has got one
Packin' high caliber heat
If you don't wanna be dancin'
You don't dare miss the beat
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Maybe at a Seven-Eleven
Maybe at a quick carjack
You'll verify there ain't a heaven
If you don't keep the hammer back
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Don't keep the safety on
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
'Til the living shadow's gone
Keep the hammer back, hammer back
Hammer back, hammer back
