Swinging The Chain Lyrics - Black Sabbath

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
