Cornucopia Lyrics

Too much near the truth they say
Keep it 'til another day
Let them have their little game
Delusion helps to keep them sane

Let them have their little toys
Matchbox cars and more kids joys
Exciting in their plastic ways
Frozen food in a concrete maze

Your gonna go insane
I'm tryin' to save your brain

Alright

I don't know what's happening
My head's all torn inside
People say I'm heavy
They don't know what I hide

Take a life it's going cheap
Kill someone no one will weep
Freedom's yours just pay your dues
We just want your soul to use

Your gonna go insane
I'm tryin' to save your brain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about how people are deceived by wealth and their materialistic desires. Mislead to the point where they aren't really living anymore.

Also I should note that instead of 'concrete place' it should be "concrete maze".

"Cornucopia is of course a symbol - a metaphor of wealth and fertility. The name is more than sufficient since the song criticizes the so called modern prosperity."

it's about how we might think we are all living in prosperity but the truth is that we aren't and eventually we will all see the truth... and go insane but ozzy's just trying to save our brain for it ;)

Cornucopia is something also to Greek Mythology. But anyways, this is my favorite off "Vol. 4".

Geezer talks about modern way of life and moral values with irony, fame, fortune and lack of kindness among people in general when each individual is measured by what he possess and come he can be useful to the system. very nice and strange lyrics
