'LYRICS

QUEEN-Bryan May

Rich or poor or famous For your truth it's all the same (oh no oh no) Lock your door the rain is pouring Through your window pane (oh no) Baby now your struggle's all in vain For we who grew up tall and proud In the shadow of the mushroom cloud Convinced our voices can't be heard We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder What the hell we fighting for? Just surrender and it won't hurt at all You just got time to say your prayers While your waiting for the hammer to Hammer To Fall It's gonna fall Hammer, you know, Hammer To Fall While you're waiting for the Hammer To Fall Give it to me one more tim

Here we stand or here we fall History won't care at all Make the bed light the light Lady mercy won't be home tonight yeah You don't waste no time at all Don't hear the bell but you answer the call It comes to you as to us all We're just waiting For the Hammer To Fall Oh ev'ry night and every day A little piece of you is falling away But lift your face the western way Build your muscles as your body decays yeah Toe your line and play their game yeah Let the anaesthetic cover it all Till one day they call your name You know it's time for the Hammer To Fall

'MEANING'

"For we who grew up tall and proud Per noi che crescemmo alti ed orgogliosi In the shadow of the mushroom cloud Nell'ombra della nube a fungo Convinced our voices can't be heard Convinti che le nostre voci non possono essere sentite We just wanna scream it louder and louder louder Vogliamo solo urlarlo piu' forte e ancora piu' forte , ancora piu' forte What the hell we fighting for? Per cosa diavolo stiamo combattendo?

Queen, at the height of their success, write this song inspired by the nuclear threat that the arms race was producing in the world. Every day there is the possibility that the hammer falls, that is, that a nuclear war begins, but man lives anyway, indeed he tries to make his voice heard, even if it will be useless and will not be heard by the world powers. In a situation like this we are all the same rich, poor and famous, we are all men and we all want the same thing:

'Yes but.......for me?

I think that “Hammer to Fall” it’s a odd song because Queen tried to explain a complicated situation about the Cold War that usually was neglected.So I'm pleased about the success of this song and I hope everyone understands the meaning of this song.

'Born in the USA'

Bruce Springsteen

treated when they return to the United States.The antithesis of the American dream, it highlights the feelings of loneliness and abandonment of the working class of that era.

Many people, when they hear this famous Bruce Springsteen song, think that it's an American pride anthem, but nothing could be further from the truth.The real message of the song can be heard in the description of how Vietnam war veterans are
