  • 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?

    And we're sad and sorry
    Really sorry that it happened that way
    Yes we're sad and sorry
    But why'd you have to treat us that way?

    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

    Yes we're sad and sorry
    Really sorry that it happened that way
    Yes we're sad and sorry
    We cannot go on in those days

    I'm talking about my brothers
    Yeah, I'm talking 'bout sisters as well
    I wish you good luck
    Good luck!

    Oh, but the world's still on fire
    Chain the hope you take on, liar
    This fire
    We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah Writer/s: ANTHONY IOMMI, JOHN OSBOURNE, TERENCE BUTLER, WILLIAM WARD
