[Verse 1]
You bought a brand new toolbox
Chrome shine
Big red case
Thinkin’ you can fix folks
Like loose boards in this place
You got a ten-pound sledge
And a head full of doubt
But some folks love the fire
They just hate puttin’ it out
[Chorus]
No matter how big a hammer you use
You can't pound common sense into fools
You can shout
You can shake
You can lay down the rules
But you can't pound common sense into fools
You’ll just break your back
On someone else’s bad news
No matter how big a hammer you use
[Verse 2]
You point right at the sign
They still ask where to go
You spell it nice and simple
They say
“How could I know?”
You’re patchin’ up the drywall
While they’re kickin’ through the door
Tryin’ to fix a leaky roof
In a house that wants it to pour
[Chorus]
No matter how big a hammer you use
You can't pound common sense into fools
You can shout
You can shake
You can lay down the rules
But you can't pound common sense into fools
You’ll just bruise your heart
On someone else’s bad news
No matter how big a hammer you use
[Bridge]
So save your sweat
For somethin’ that bends
You can’t make a mind
That don’t wanna mend
Raise your glass
Let it all pass (let it pass)
Some lessons only life can smash
[Chorus]
No matter how big a hammer you use
You can't pound common sense into fools
You can shout
You can shake
You can lay down the rules
But you can't pound common sense into fools
Let the hard heads learn
From every wall they cruise
No matter how big a hammer you use |
