EVERY TOOLKIT NEEDS A HAMMER (Cooper/Jones)

You have no tact, no people skills
It’s spot on when they call you insensitive 
You pull no punches, don’t care how they land 
Or who gets hurt by your heavy hand
 
Your reputation goes before you 
You’ve a knack for doling out cold harsh truths 
But it ain’t winning you any new friends 
Some things are often better left unsaid 
 
Every toolkit needs a hammer 
Strike first, consider last
Taking out deep seated anger
From whatever’s in your past
Every toolkit needs a hammer
But you don’t need to smash through life
Causing lots of untold damage 
Hiding your fear in plain sight
 
You like to say things that’ll shock 
Send mouths agape and jaws to drop
Picking on the weaker ones to mock 
You’re laughing loud but the room is not 
 
Every toolkit needs a hammer 
Strike first, consider last
Taking out deep seated anger
From whatever’s in your past
Every toolkit needs a hammer
But you don’t need to smash through life
Causing lots of untold damage 
Hiding your fear in plain sight
 
Ain’t nothing left unbroken in your China shop 
Subtlety plainly is not your strength
It’s all bull and it’s time to stop
You’ll nail it when you keep people at a safe arm’s length
 
Every toolkit needs a hammer 
Strike first, consider last
Taking out deep seated anger
From whatever’s in your past
Every toolkit needs a hammer
Not the sharpest in the box
Mind your thumb, mind your manner
Bless your bright red cotton socks
 
Only use in an emergency
