When The Hammer Strikes lyrics

Take my hand, mother Tell me I don't have to go I'll never play with guns again Hold my hand, mother Tell me once again that everything will be alright Everything will be alright 'Cause when the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down You get what you deserve When the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (say oh-day-oh) Eighteen years, mother Eighteen years I'll never know Tonight that I go Just as any other who needs a dollar But I killed a man for 25 Killed a man to stay alive For nothing 'Cause when the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down You get what you deserve When the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (say oh-day-oh) 'Cause when the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down You get what you deserve When the hammer strikes When the hammer strikes down Oh-day-oh, say oh-day-oh (say oh-day-oh)
