Lyrics Black Sabbath - Paranoid

 

War Pigs/Luke's Wall

 

Gen'rals gathered in their masses, Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction, Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning, As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind, Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh Lord Yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave thier role to the poor, yeah Time will tell on their power minds, Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess, Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah Now in darkness world stops turning, Ashes where the bodies burning No more War Pigs have the power, And as God has struck the hour Day of judgement, God is calling On their knees the war pigs crawling, Begging mercies for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings Oh Lord Yeah!


Paranoid

 

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy, Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find, I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I can not feel and love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life, I wish I could but (it's/I'm) too late


 

Planet Caravan

 

We sail through endless skies, Stars shine like eyes, the black night sighs The moon in silver dreams falls down in beams, Light of the night The earth, a purple blaze of sapphire haze in orbit always While down below the trees, bathed in cool breeze, Silver starlight breaks down from night And so we pass on by the crimson (eye / knife) of great god Mars as we travel the universe


 

Iron Man

 

I am Iron Man! Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all Or if he moves will he fall? Is he 'live or dead? (Has he / Icy) thoughts with in his head? We'll just pass him there, Why should we even care? He was turned to steel in the great magnetic field When he traveled time for the future of mankind Nobody wants him; He just stares at the world, Planning his vengeance that he will soon unfurl Now the time is here for Iron Man to spread fear, Vengeance from the grave kills the people he once saved Nobody wants him; They just turn their heads Nobody helps him now he has his revenge Heavy boots of lead drills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can, Iron Man lives again


 

Electric Funeral

 

Reflex in the sky warn you you're gonna die Storm comin' you better hide from the atomic tide Flashes in the sky turns houses into sty Turns people into clay, radiation minds decay Robot minds of robot slaves lead them to atomic (grave/rage/rate) Plastic flowers, melting sun, fading moon falls upon dying world of radiation, victims of (man/mad) frustration, burning globe of obscene fire, like electric funeral pyre Buildings crashing down to what's cracking ground [Rivers turned to wood]**, ice melting to flood Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry for the dead Terrifying rain, ease a burning pain 'lectric Fun'ral 'lectric Fun'ral 'lectric Fun'ral Electric Fun'ral And so in the sky shines the electric eye Supernat'ral king, takes earth under his wing Heaven's golden chorus sings, Hell's angels flap their wings Evil souls fall to Hell, ever trapped in burning cell ** Reverse damned to ward


 

Hand of Doom

 

What you you gonna do, Time's caught up with you Now you wait your turn, You know there's no return Take your written rules, You join the other fools Turn to something new, Now it's killing you First it was the bomb, Vietnam napalm, Disillusioning, You push the needle in From life you escape, Reality(')s that (way/fade) Colors in your mind satisfy in time Oh you you know you must be blind, To do such things like this, To take the sleep that you don't know You're giving Death a kiss Poor little fool now Your mind is full of pleasure, Your BODY's looking ill To you it's shallow leisure, So drop the acid pill Don't stop to think now You're having a good time baby, But that won't last, Your mind's all full of things, You're living too fast, Go out enjoy yourself, Don't bar it in You need someone to help you stick the needle in, yeah Now you know the scene, Your skin starts turnin' green Your eyes no longer see life's reality Push the needle in, Face Death's sickly grin Holes are in your skin, Caused by deadly pin Head starts spinning 'round, You fall down to the ground Feel your body heave, Death's hand starts to weave It's too late to turn, You Don't want to learn Price of life you hide, Now You're gonna die


 

Fairies Wear Boots

 

Goin' home late last night, Suddenly I got a fright Yeah, I looked through a window and surprise what I saw: Fairy boots are dancin' with a dwarf All Right Now! Yeah Fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me Yeah, I saw it, I saw it I tell you no lies Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes Woah Right Now! Yeah Fairies wear boots, and you gotta believe me Yeah, I saw it, I saw it I tell you no lies Yeah Fairies wear boots and you gotta believe me I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes Alright Now! So I went to the doctor, see what he could give me He said, "Son, son you've gone too far, " 'Cos smokin' an trippin' is all that you do." Yeah
