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
