[Verse 1]

Let the killers 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

[Chorus 1]

Don't try to run, don't try to scream

Believe me

The hammer's gonna smash your dream

[Verse 2]

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 hunting you

I'll scare you half to death

I'll take away your breath

[Chorus 2]

Don't try to see, don't you try to hide

Believe me

The hammer's gonna make you die

[Post-Chorus]

Ain't that right?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 3]

Don't you panic, babe, don't look around

Believe me

The hammer's gonna bring you down

[Outro]

Believe me

The hammer's coming down
