Joan was quizzical; studied pataphysical
8 7* 7* 7*
Science in the home.
8 7* 7* -7*8 -9 8 -7* 7*
Late nights all alone with a test tube.

Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine,
8 7* 7* 7* 7*
Calls her on the phone.
8 7* 7* -7* 8 -9 8 -7* 7*
«Can I take you out to the pictures,
7 7* 7 -6
Joa, oa, oa, oan?»

5 -6 -6 -7 -7* -9*-9 9 -6
But as she’s getting ready to go,
-6 -7* -7* 8 8* -9
A knock comes on the door.

7 -7* -9* -9 8-7* 7 -6
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
-5* -6 -6-7 8 -9*
Came down upon her head.
-7 -7* 10 -9* -9 9 -7* 7*
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
7 -6 -6 -7* 7 -5*
Made sure that she was dead.

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again.
Teacher gets annoyed.
Wishing to avoid and unpleasant
Sce, e, e, ene,

She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away,
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times «I must not be
So, o, o, o..»

But when she turns her back on the boy,
He creeps up from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon her head.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead.

P. C. Thirty-one said, «We caught a dirty one.»
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Rose and Valerie, screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
(Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them
So, o, o, o.

But as the words are leaving his lips,
A noise comes from behind.

Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon his head.
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh.
Silver hammer man

I just want you to know
-5 -4 -5 -4 4 4
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it’s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people’s blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You’ve thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain’t worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I’m young
You might say I’m unlearned
But there’s one thing I know
Though I’m younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death’ll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I’ll watch while you’re lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I’ll stand o’er your grave
‘Til I’m sure that you’re dead

Verses 3 & 4 (Same Tune)

They want us to join their fighting
But our answer today
Is to let all our worries
Like the breeze through our fingers slip away
Peace has come to Zimbabwe
Third World’s right on the one
Now’s the time for celebration
Cause we’ve only just begun
Chorus

Verses 4 & 5 (Same Tune)

You ask me am I happy
Well as matter of fact
I can say that I’m ecstatic
Cause we all just made a pact
We’ve agreed to get together
Joined as children in Jah
When you’re moving in the positive
Your destination is the brightest star
