It's a shame what happened to Jimmy It's a shame that it happened to all Just hangin' out and being a smart ass They found him dying in a bathroom stall But so what, that's how it goes It's just a shame that they did it to him It's too bad what they did to Sheila It's too bad that they did it to her Left her home in the early, early morning They found her body in a fetal curl But so what, that's how it goes It's too bad that they did it at all Don't tell me to live my life right Don't show me the good will be saved In this nightmare that I call my own life The good are crushed, the good are crushed By the Hammer and the Nail Don't need no preacher, I don't want no sermon I never hurt no one who didn't deserve it Spent my life looking over my shoulder Got this feeling that I ain't getting older But so what, that's how it goes Kind of tired of this shit anyway Don't tell me to live my life right Don't show me the good will be saved In this nightmare that I call my own life The good are crushed, the good are crushed By the Hammer and the Nail It's a shame what happened to Jimmy It's a shame that it happened to all Just hangin' out and being a smart ass They found him dying... by the hammer and the nail
