When You’re Holding a Hammer Everything Looks Like a Nail! Words and Music by Kyle Hill and Bryan Glover

He was a little man, just turned three Took the present from his daddy’s hand A genuine toy hammer He started beatin’ to beat the band He hit the floors and the wall, broke a lamp in the hall, Started swinging at the puppy’s tail

When you’re holding a hammer Everything looks like a nail

He was the president, number 44 He says “Trust me, I’m here to help you I have got some big big plans You’re gonna love what I’m gonna do” There’s no problem too big or small He thinks he’s got an answer that just can’t fail

When you’re holding a hammer Everything looks like a nail

He thinks big thoughts and he dreams big dreams But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes He don’t care how the little people feel 'Cause savin’ the world is a big freakin’ deal

So he does his business behind closed doors And pretends that the world is just beggin’ for more When the stuff hits the fan he says “Don’t look at me If you got trouble, blame 43”

Now Congress is saving Wall Street While they’re watching Main Street fall They got health care all figured out But it don’t seem to care much at all As soon as they save this planet They’ll put the fire out in hell

When you’re holding a hammer Everything looks like a nail

They think big thoughts and they dream big dreams But it’s another man’s sweat that pays for those schemes They don’t care how the little people feel ‘Cause savin’ the world is a big freakin’ deal They do their business behind closed doors And pretend that the world is just beggin’ for more

When the stuff hits the fan they say “Don’t look at me If you got trouble, blame 43”

There’ll be a party come this November Where we’re gonna set things straight All good people gonna gather ‘round Gonna show what made this country great We’ll run off the schemers and back-room dealers So the Red, White and Blue will prevail

When we’re holding the hammer When we’re holding the hammer When we’re holding the hammer Every one of them looks like a nail

While I agree with the sentiment in the song you just cannot send out stuff like that and expect no reprecussions. He messed up.

oh yeah, that's really politically incorrect and racist. /sarcasm

what a bunch of whiney a--holes those parents must be... probably the types that want little johnnie to get an award just for showing up to practice.

Liberals do not allow dissent.

This guy may have a lawsuit.

Not very smart sending it out to the parents of the kids he coached. One or two of them was probably not going to approve.

People do stupid things with email and the internet.

Did he use his school’s email to send this out? He should have known better. I agree with the song, but I think he DID mess up if he used his work email (public school=government school).

Great News for all those who want greater Parental and Local Control of their public schools.

Sell the rights to the song and watch it go viral.

Or heck just let some talented people do it on YouTube on their own.

I would never have sent this out on a school or work related email list. I would have sent it out on a political email list.

How dare this right wing conspirator even stoop to suggest that our fearlessly ineligible leader would do manual labor! With a hammer?

I agree with what the coach was saying. However free speech applies to the government, not your employer. The police can't put you in jail for poking fun at the government, but your boss can sure has heck put you in the unemployment line. Despite what some libs might tell you there is no right to a job. Understanding what is covered under freedom of speech, religion is imperative. We as conservatives cannot allow ourselves to make the same mistakes the liberals have in extending constitutional rights into areas they were never envisioned to cover.

Lesson learned? Double check the recipients in the TO: line before pressing SEND.

Public elementary and high school teachers cannot mix partisan politics and children's education. Period.

If it's O.K. for a public school teacher to be preaching politics that we agree with, then don't be surprised when the vast majority of public school teachers start preaching politics that we do not agee with.

I saw you ranting on TV today
I heard you tell me to reload
You got a lot of nerve to talk that way
Someone unplug the microphone
I'm tired of all the fighting
Cynicism and back biting
Can't even hear myself think
You pour the Kool-Aid and then we drink...

This is a song about Sarah Palin, should Sarah sue the pants off this retarded old cow Sheryl Crow for writing this..I think so..If we can't say what we feel about the dirtiest man to ever walk onto Air Force One and make that his home..

A while back there was a big dust-up in city government when an employee accidentally hit SEND TO ALL on an email with the photoshop of the obamamobile.

Media picked up on it, employee apologized and that was that, no other repercussions.

Franklin, Tennessee???????

The article studiously avoids mentioning city and state.
