These lyrics are very wrong. Not that the following is a 100% either, but it's much closer:
Born in a window
Nobody’s fool
Raised in a prison
You called a school
Taught your religion
Told what to do
I handed my childhood
Over to you
Traveling endlessly, I'm searching my mind
I'm almost afraid of what I will find
Wandering aimlessly, oh what can I do?
I handed my future over to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Working for freedom
Fighting your wars
Feeding your children
Keeping your laws
Someday you'll suffer
And what I'll do
I'll hand all your promises
Over to you
Standing inside myself, I'm losing control
You made me believe in the stories you told
Waiting impatiently, what else can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Tears full of sadness (?)
Sealed in their cell
Whispering secrets
What do they tell?
Mad politicians
Can’t tell it true
I handed my children
Over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you...
@thesithempire Better late than never! :) I'll have the lyrics 100% correct by the time Black Sabbath: The Illustrated Lyrics Vol 8 comes out in a few years.

@thesithempire I'm glad to see somebody corrected this. I don't understand where someone ever got "cold blooded spoof" from. After many years I thought to look up the lyrics to this song to hopefully clear up some of the stuff I was never sure about over the years, and cringed like hell when I saw that on so many lyrics sites. Same with the "which burning secrets" line, another one you would think was obvious. As for the line you have a (?) on, I always thought he said "Tears burn of sadness.

The line after that was new to me, I always misread that as "feel them myself" referring to the tears, but reading what you have for that seems to fit better, though I think it's "sealed in my cell".
Someone should do an interview with Geezer all about lyrics, and see if he remembers some of the stuff he wrote in these songs. The two other ones that have ate at me for years: the "unicorn" line in Symptom Of The Universe, and the "Snow White" line in Never Say Die. I have a hard time accepting that it's "snow white's mirror said partners in crime" but I really don't have any good suggestions about what he's really saying there.
