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
