A reflective song about how power could be used. The bridge includes percussion drowned in reverb, as if a hammer is crushing something.
[Verse 1]
It's wholly subjective
The thing that you see
So what's your objective?
What will it be?
[Pre-Chorus]
With those nails and those wrenches
The tools in your hand
I just have one question
[Chorus]
If hammers can build, if hammers can take
If hammers can make things, if hammers can
Break the ground that you walk upon
Break the ground that you're standin' on, standin' on
If hammers can crush, if hammers can mend
Then how do you plan to use your hammer, my friend?
Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or
Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong? Hmm
[Post-Chorus]
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show
[Verse 2]
I'm not passin' judgmеnt
'Cause that would be cruel
Usе your words to bludgeon you
As if they were some tool
[Pre-Chorus]
But with those nails and those wrenches
Those tools in your hand
I just have one question
[Chorus]
If hammers can build, if hammers can take
If hammers can make things, if hammers can
Break the ground that you walk upon
Break the ground that you're standin' on, standin' on
If hammers can crush, if hammers can mend
Then how do you plan to use your hammer, my friend?
Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or
Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong? Hmm
[Post-Chorus]
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show
[Bridge]
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Oh woah, mm, mm
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da
Oh woah, woah
[Chorus]
If hammers can build, if hammers can take
If hammers can make things, if hammers can
Break the ground that you walk upon
Break the ground that you're standin' on, standin' on
If hammers can crush, if hammers can mend
Then how do you plan to use your hammer, my friend?
Wield your hammer like weapons drawn or
Wield your hammer to right what's wrong, right what's wrong? Hmm
[Post-Chorus]
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show
Only time will show, mm
