Black Sabbath — Swinging the Chain

[Verse 1] 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? [Chorus] And we're sad and sorry We're really sorry that it happened that way Yes, we're sad and sorry But why'd you have to treat us that way? [Verse 2] 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 compromise that's right If we cannot work it out We're gonna have to fight [Chorus] And we're sad and sorry We're really sorry that it happened that way Yes, we're sad and sorry We cannot go on in those days [Bridge] I'm talking about my brothers Yeah, I'm talking 'bout sisters as well And I wish you good luck Good luck! [Outro] Oh, but the world's still on fire (you gotta believe) Chain the hope you take on, liar (you gotta believe) This fire (you gotta believe) We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah! (you gotta believe)
