If i had a hammer i'd wake up my neighbors pounding out a rhythm all about you If i had a pencil i'd push me some paper i'd build a skyscraper to get close to you If i had a lasso i'd sail out the window and land on an island next to you If i had a hot rod i'd fasten up my seatbelt and break the speed limit gettin' to you But i ain't got a hammer and i ain't got a pencil and i ain't got a lasso so i'm doing it the hard way like a post post-modern man If i had a credit card i'd clear me a pathway through the deepest jungle right to your door If i had a camera i'd snap away my fingers and collect up the pictures of you of course But i ain't got a hot rod and i ain't got a credit card no chance for a camera so i'm doing it the hard way like a post post-modern man Well i ain't got a hammer and i ain't got a lasso no chance for a camera so i'm doing it the hard way
