War Pigs Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Generals 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
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, yeah
[Bridge]
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that all 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 judgment day comes, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Now, in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of Judgment, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercies for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
[Refrain]
Oh, Lord, yeah
[Instrumental Outro: Luke's Wall]
Paranoid Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Can you help me
Occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
[Verse 3]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal
[Verse 5]
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 too late
Iron Man Lyrics
[Intro]
I am Iron Man
[Verse 1]
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves, will he fall?
[Verse 2]
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind
[Chorus]
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
[Chorus]
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again
[Instrumental Outro]
Hand of Doom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What you gonna do? Time's caught up with you
Now, you wait your turn, you know there's no return
Take your routine roles, you join the other fools
Turn to something new, now, it's killing you
[Verse 2]
First, it was the bomb, Vietnam, napalm
Disillusioning, you push the needle in
From life, you escape reality's black drape
Colours in your mind satisfy your time
[Bridge 1]
Oh, you, you know you must be blind
To do such things like this
To take the sweet that you don't know
You're giving Death a kiss
Poor little fool, now
[Bridge 2]
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
[Bridge 3]
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 bottle it in
You need someone to help you, stick the needle in, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Now, you know the scene, your skin starts turning 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
[Verse 4]
Head starts spinning 'round, you fall down to the ground
Feel your body heave, Death hand starts to weave
It's too late to turn, you don't wanna learn
Price of life you hide, now, you're gonna die
Fairies Wear Boots Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro: Jack the Stripper 00:00-01:30]
[Verse]
Goin' home late last night
Suddenly, I got a fright
Yeah, I looked through a window and surprised what I saw
Fairy with boots are dancin' with a dwarf, alright, now
[Chorus]
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
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
So, I went to the doctor, see what he could give me
He said, "Son, son, you've gone too far
'Cause smokin' and trippin' is all that you do," yeah
