Given everything going on in the world, I thought we could listen to what is (mostly) an antiwar song. Full disclosure: Black Sabbath is not a band I listen to, now or back in the day, but I tripped over this song last week, probably on social media but I'm not sure where.
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poorTime 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!
This is "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath from the 1970 album Paranoid.
When this song came out Black Sabbath consisted of:
- Ozzy Osbourne — vocalist
- Tony Iommi — guitarist
- Geezer Butler — bass player
- Bill Ward — drummer
They are all listed in the songwriting credits.
Not to be a critic, personally I feel the first version of this song "Walpurgis" to be a better track.
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion, I feel the first version of this song "Walpurgis" to be a better track.
