Pariah

Written by Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi

Produced by Rick Rubin

Lyrics

Pariah

[Verse 1] Pariah from society Addicted to sobriety A product of a virgin birth Another god on earth Yes that's your fantasy [Verse 2] You say that you can read my mind Be careful of what you might find You think that you can be like me And see what my eyes see But you're no friend of mine [Pre-Chorus 1] Do you believe every word I say? Make your own truth and get out of my way [Chorus] I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah [Verse 3] An angel or the Antichrist A symbol of your own device Pathetic in your own sad way You're just one pill away From taking my advice [Pre-Chorus 2] Do you believe every word I say? Make up your mind and get out of my way [Chorus] I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah [Bridge] Do you believe that I'm from Heaven? That I descended from the sky? The graven image of a pseudo icon To worship me on high? I'm not your savior I got no wings to fly Just your pariah Don't look to me when your life is over [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I'm your pariah For your desire Ain't no messiah Just your pariah [Outro] Ain't no messiah Just your pariah
