Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Black Sabbath or about the 1970s in general.

People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme
Snow White’s mirror said “partners in crime!”

Don’t they ever have to worry?
Don’t you ever wonder why?
It’s a part of me that tells you
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Sunday’s satisfaction, Monday’s home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, `till it’s ready, taking it slow

Don’t they ever have to worry?
Don’t you ever wonder why?
It’s a part of me that tells you
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die
Never, never, never say die again

Don’t you ever say die
Don’t you ever say die
Never say die

Panic, silver lining, writing’s on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future’s on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everything’s fine

There’s no need to have a reason
There’s no need to wonder why
It’s a part of me that tells you
Oh, don’t you ever, don’t ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
