Hammer 2009

When all you got is a hammer everything looks like a nail
When all you got is the wind everything looks like a sail

You is who you is you be who you be
The end of the nose is as far as you see
When all you got is a hammer everything looks like a nail


When all you got is an automobile everything looks like a road
When all you are is a princess everybody looks like a toad

You is who you is you be who you be
The end of the nose is as far as you see
When all you got is an automobile everything looks like a road

When all you are is a shipwreck everybody looks like an island
When all you do is holler and yell everybody else looks silent

You is who you is you be who you be
The end of the nose is as far as you see
When all you are is a shipwreck everybody looks like an island

When all you got is religion everybody else is going to hell
When all you’re doing is preaching everybody else is someone to tell

You is who you is you be who you be
The end of the nose is as far as you see
When all you got is religion everybody else is going to hell

Now all I got is a guitar and everything looks like a song
And if the verse I sing is #5 I guess it’s gone on way too long

But I is who you is I be who you be
The end of my nose is as far as I see
Now all I got is a guitar and everything looks like a song
