Avoidance is my stock and trade I do it almost every day 'Til the days go by in a haze of okays Lo-fi covers my every flaw Yeah, I never really learned to hem my haws Maybe, I never learned anything Maybe a war is what I need A good haircut or a death in the family I can't nail down just what is missing The hammer's on it's way My expectations ain't so great When you wear 'em like a heavy weight And you wait around expecting to wait So here I stand, yeah, I'm the nail When the hit comes down I'm available I'll be the one with the hard, hard head But when it comes, what will I say? You just might get what you ask for, they say I'll stick my head in the air and I'll proudly say The hammer's on it's way The hammer's comin' down someday Yeah, I know the hammer's on it's way The hammer's comin' someday Yeah, I know the hammer's on it's way Avoidance is my stock and trade I do it almost everyday 'Til the days go by in a haze of okays But the future's always bearing down Guess it's time to get to tearing down And building myself all over again, yeah Maybe a war is what I need A good haircut or a death in the family I can't nail down just what is missing The hammer's on it's way On it's way On it's way ♪ Yeah
