Lyric discussion by Sabbra21 

Cover art for The Writ lyrics by Black Sabbath

A song about past managment that Sabbath was under.

these lyrics are a lot more accurate(though i will admit that on some lines both of these will fit.. but over all these are a lot more accturate):

The way I feel is the way I act I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you Just to you What kind of people do you think we are Another joker who's a rock 'n' roll star for you Just for you The fateful image of another man The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you Yeah for you Your sun troopers layin' down on the floor I wish they'd put an end to my private war with you Yeah with you

Are you metal, Are you man You've changed a lot since you began Yeah began Ladies digging gold from you Will they still dig dying true Yea your through

You bought and sold me with your lying word The voices in the dark that you never heard came through Yeah Cain too Your fallen phalic, a dismembered God A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you Yeah that's you I'm begging please don't let it get any worse The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you Yeah curse you All of the promises that never came true You're gonna get what is coming to you that's due Ah that's soon

Are you Satan, Are you man You've changed a lot since it began It began Vultures sucking gold from you Will they still suck now you're through

Cats, Rats

The search is on so you just better run And find yourself another way Rob the dead they don't feel a thing Keep the living for another day

Rat, Rat

You are nonentity, you have no destiny You are a figment of a thing unknown A mantle picture of a stolen soul A fornication of your golden throne

A smiling face it means the world to me, yeah So tired of sadness and of misery, yeah My life it started some time ago Where it will end I don't know I thought I was so good I thought I was far I feel my world's being torn apart

But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah If it don't I think I'll lose my mind, yeah

I know, I know, I know, Yeah yeah I know Listen to me while I sing this song You might just think the words are wrong Too many people advising me but they don't know what my eyes seen

But everything is gonna work out fine, yeah If it don't I feel I'll blow my mind, yeah
