Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Black Sabbath or about the 1970s in general.
It’s against my uniform
To be a civil judge
All the songs are history now
`Bout rock stars and their grudge
Let us cast our minds back
To thirty years or more
You took up all the vandals
Will Hitler beat `em all?
And we’re sad and sorry
Really sorry that it happened that way
Yes we’re sad and sorry
But why’d you have to treat us that way?
Compare ourselves with others
And cover them in sin
Oh, God what a terrible
A terrible state we’re in
There must be some way out of here
A comprimise that’s right
If we cannot work it out
We’re gonna have to fight
Yes we’re sad and sorry
Really sorry that it happened that way
Yes we’re sad and sorry
We cannot go on in those days
I’m talking about my brothers
Yeah, I’m talking `bout sisters as well
I wish you good luck
Good luck!
Oh, but the world’s still on fire
Chain the hope you take on, liar
This fire
We’re on fire, we’re on fire, yeah…
