Lyrics The Hammer - 1981 / Live At Newcastle & Leeds - Motörhead

Let the killer go, don't let your mother know
Don't go out tonight, don't even try to fight
'Cause I can see, I've got the thing you need
And I'm here to stay, it's gonna be that way
Don't try to run, don't try to scream
Believe me, the hammer's gonna smash your dream

I'm in your life, just might be in your wife
Could be behind your back, I might be on your track
And it might be true, I might be onto you
I'll scare you half to death, I'll take away your breath
Don't try to see, don't try to hide
Believe me, the hammer's gonna make you die

There ain't no way, you'll see another day
I'm shooting out your lights, bring you eternal night
And your eternal tricks, begin to make me sick
The only thing I know, is that you've gotta go
Don't try to hide, don't look around
Believe me, the hammer's gonna bring you down
