Don't tell me you know What it's all about What it's about Your thinking makes me scream and shout I won't give out You try and change my life That cuts me like a knife I'm gonna hammer away Won't listen to what you say I'm gonna hammer away, hammer away And do it my way I'd love to tell a thing or two Right to you You've gotten under my skin Well I'm through Through with you So I'm lowerin' the boom Climbing out of this old tomb And hammer away I'm tired of you Layin' down the law You make no sense at all You'll never make me break down And fall No not at all Don't you try and change my life 'Cause that cuts me like a knife I'm gonna hammer away Won't listen to what you say I'm gonna hammer away, hammer away Make it some place I'm gonna hammer away Won't listen to what you say I'm gonna hammer away, hammer away And do it my way I'm gonna I'm gonna hammer away
