Everybody needs a hammer
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 boli outta the pail
