[Verse 1]
Hold your feet to the fire
Hold your face to the
Ground, ground, ground
Hold on tight; you're a target, baby
Drop the hammer down
I'm a long life, loving hate
I'm a bomb that makes no sound
Could you, please?
Would you loosen these?
I'm about to fucking drown

[Chorus]
Low down and overloaded
Keeping you alive
I see that you've exploded
On the other side
Low down and low down and
Kicking it around
I see that you've exploded
Drop the hammer down

[Verse 2]
In a mock execution
In a house of gag and bound
Not the best of solution
Drop the hammer down
I'm a long life, hating love
Under my dirt mound
If you could stand where we stood
We're not fucking around
[Chorus]
Low down and overloaded
Keeping you alive
I see that you've exploded
On the other side
Low down and low down and
Kicking it around
I see that you've exploded
Drop the hammer down

[Bridge]
Let's hear for the black and blue
For the tortured soul, the battered crew
Three cheers for the black and blue
(Hey, hey, hey)
Raise a glass to the beaten down
To their dignity and bloodless frown
Three cheers for the beaten down
(Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey)

[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Drop-dead dreams in a deep dirt ditch
Buried by a shovel hand
Dead screams from the son of a bitch
Coming out to beat the band
Oh, baby, how I love your bite
Turn my smile upside down
Oh, baby, how I hate your light
As you drop the hammer down
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Hold your feet to the fire
Hold your face to the
Ground, ground, ground
Hold on tight; you're a target, baby
Drop the hammer down
I'm a long life, hating love
Under my dirt mound
If you could stand where we stood
We're not fucking around

[Chorus]
Low down and overloaded
Keeping you alive
I see that you've exploded
On the other side
Low down and low down and
Kicking it around
I see that you've exploded
Drop the hammer down
