  • People look to me and say
    Is the end near, when is the final day
    What's the future of mankind
    How do I know, I got left behind

    Everyone goes through changes
    Looking to find the truth
    Don't look to me for answers
    Don't ask me, I don't know

    How am I supposed to know
    Hidden meanings that will never show
    Fools and prophets from the past
    Life's a stage and we're all in the cast

    Ya gotta believe in someone asking me who is right
    Asking me who to follow, don't ask me, I don't know
    I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

    Nobody ever told me I found out for myself
    Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles
    It's not how you play the game
    It's if you win or lose you can choose
    Don't confuse win or lose, it's up to you
    It's up to you, it's up to you, it's up to you

    Go, go, go
    People look to me and say
    Is the end near, when is the final day
    What's the future of mankind
    How do I know, I got left behind

    Everyone goes through changes
    Looking to find the truth
    Don't look to me for answers
    Don't ask me, I don't know Writer/s: John Osbourne, Randy Rhoads, Robert Daisley

  • Rich from Las Vegas, NvHell yeah! Very 1st song on side 1 of Blizzard Of Ozz...One of my top 10 songs of all time, it was my introduction to Ozzy aaannnnd Randy...I'm from Randy's hometown of Burbank, CA this album will always have a VERY special place in my metal heart! I love Ozzy!
  • Jg from Joppa, MdThis is not a well known hit? Really?
  • Addi_polak from Dortmund, Germanysorry for my english: for me was ozzy in the time of black sabbath like an prophet - the people saw in him a prophet. in him and in BLACK SABBATH. after BLACK SABBATH kicked him out he was lost. he lost all behind him. but the people still asked him for answers about the life - about they life - about the future - about mankind - about GOD - but NOW HE DON'T KNOW!!!
  • Luke from Sc, Scyeah daisley did write almost every song ozzy ever sang, but still give it up for him. he's still a great singer.
  • Vic from Melbourne, AustraliaYou are absolutely right, Josh of Detroit. Credit where credit's due - and that goes to Bob Daisley for all his lyrical attributes as well to Randy and Bob for the music!
  • Josh from Detroit, MiThe lyrics to this song were written by Bob Daisley. Ozzy wrote none of the lyrics on this album. In fact, the only verifiable evidence I've found for Ozzy writing ANY lyrics was on the song Black Sabbath, which he wrote when Geezer told him about a dream. And by looking at the lyrics in that song, it's easy to see why Ozzy relied on Geezer, Bob Daisley and Lemmy Kilmister to write virtually ALL of his memorable songs.
