  • Inclination of direction, walk the turned and twisted rift
    With the children of creation futuristic dreams we sift
    Clutching violently we whisper with a liquefying cry
    Any deadly final answers that are surely doomed to die

    Won't you help me Mr. Jesus, won't you tell me if you can?
    When you see this world we live in, do you still believe in man?
    If my songs become my freedom, and my freedom turns to gold
    Then I'll ask the final question, if the answer could be sold

    Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it
    'Cause I've got no reason to lie, yeah
    Forget your problems that don't even exist
    And I'll show you a way to get high, oh yeah
    Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

    So come along, you know you matter to me
    Remember freedom is not hard to find, yeah
    Time to stop all your messing around
    Don't you think that I know my own mind, oh yeah
    Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

    Why can't you believe, it's not here to perceive
    Do you always have to be told, yeah
    For you have been taught that if your mind has been bought
    Life's entire answer was sold, oh yeah
    Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Writer/s: MICHAEL BUTLER, OZZY OSBOURNE, TONY IOMMI, WILLIAM WARD
