  • Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about
    No black magician telling me to cast my soul out
    Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
    I've opened the door, now my mind's been released

    Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky
    No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
    I wanna live my life, I don't want people telling me what to do
    I just believe in myself 'cause no one else is true

    Every day just comes and goes
    Life is one long overdose
    People try to rule the nation
    I just see through their frustration
    People hiding their real face
    Each one running their rat race
    Behind each flower there grows a weed
    In their world of make-believe

    So believe what I tell you, it's the only way you'll fight in the end
    Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
    Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
    Just live your life and leave them all behind Writer/s: Frank Iommi, John Osbourne, Terence Butler, William Ward

  • Luna Loud from Royal Woods, MichiganI love the message in this song, don't listen to preachers or religious nuts, or anyone telling you how you SHOULD live your life. Do what you want to do. As long as you're not hurting anyone, it's all good, bro.

    Does anyone know how many different keys this song is in? I sounds like a lot.
  • Cindy from Pure DeliriumI hate when they f--kup good song lyrics too...its annoying!!! This is true Sabbath right here. I went ballistic when they played this in concert. Sabbath f--king Rules!!!
  • Hugo from BrazilThe lyrics are wrong.

    1st line: "demon" should be "jesus freak"
    7th: "with no" should be "I don't want"
    12th: it should be "I can't see through their frustration"
    13th: "Hiding", not "Riding"
    15th: "Behind each flower there grows a weed"

  • Jon from Parma, OhIn Ozzy's book, 'I am Ozzy', he says that Bill had changed the drums every time they played this, and couldn't keep it down because he was so messed up. When they had finally finished the song, they had been calling it "Everywhere Under The f--king Sun".
