Divine Hammer Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just looking for
Just looking for a way around
It disappears this near
You're the rod, I'm water
I'm just looking for the divine hammer

[Hook]
One divine hammer
One divine hammer

[Verse 2]
I'm just looking for one divine hammer
I'd bang it all day
Oh, the carpenter goes bang
Bang bang
I'm just looking for one divine hammer


[Hook]
One divine hammer
Divine hammer

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
I'm just looking for a faith waiting to be followed
It disappears this near
You're the rod, I'm water
I'm just looking for one divine hammer
[Hook]
One divine hammer
One divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

What did The Breeders say about "Divine Hammer"?
Genius Answer

It’s mainly about looking for something so hard through your life that people said was there. When I grew up and went to Sunday school, they said it was going to be really great … I believed everything everybody told me. And that’s why I’m so pissed off now.
