Everybody needs a nail
Everybody gotta go
let off steam
When the water boil
outta the pail
Everybody needs redemption
Everybody needs a break
So if you're feelin' low
and got nowhere to go
Get a hammer
for heavens sake
Sometimes you get lonely
Sometimes I get blue
Sometimes you wake
in the middle of the night
And feel the whole world
down on you
Sometimes things get heavy
Sometimes you're filled with doubt
Well, when that's true,
if it happens to you
Get a hammer and let it all out
Everybody needs a hammer
Everybody needs a nail
Everybody gotta go let off steam
When the water boil outta the pail
You may be a rich man
You may be a bum
You may be some big shot
On your way to kingdom come
You could be a guru
Hangin' out with a porno star
But sometime you'll want to explode
No matter who you are That's why...
Everybody needs a hammer
Everybody needs a nail
Everybody gotta go let off steam
When the water boil outta the pail
Some like bangin'a table
Some like boppin' the floor
Some like smashin' a champagne glass
On the back of a whorehouse door
Some day like it gentle
A little tap here and there
Whether wearin' diamonds
and a evening gown
Or watchin' TV in your underwear
Everbody needs a hammer
Everybody needs a nail
Everybody gotta go let off steam
When the water boil outta the pail
Can you talk
Do you stammer
Are you bored
Need some drama
Forget the style
Leave the glamour
Get yourself
A great big hammer
Everybody needs a doorway
Everybody needs some room
Everybody gotta get a little escape
From the hype and the hustle and gloom
Everybody needs their freedom
Everybody got to find a way
Well, I'll help you if you let me
And we can hammer out a brand new day

| Willie Nile And now |
And Moses, he told Sue
Well, Sue told Elvis, he told me
And now I'm tellin' you
Everybody needs a hammer
Everybody needs a nail
Everybody gotta go let off steam
When the water boil outta the pail

ReplyDeleteIf you hit the nail
and the hammer fails
and you proceed to wail:
that's basic language
