From Cross Purposes1994

Written by Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Tony Martin (Vocalist)

Lyrics

What’s the Use?

[Verse 1] What's the use of paradise When everyday of livin' they spent learning every sin in Hell? What's the point of children when the evil come before them? They learn in every tale we tell [Chorus] There's no point in being kind What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind? Oh yeah [Verse 2] What's the use of power when the balance isn't equal And we're all too scared to use it anyway? What's the point of reason when no-one wants to listen? Deliverance is all too far away [Chorus] There's no point in being kind What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind? Ooh, what's the use? [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] There's no point in being kind What's the use when love becomes an evil of the mind? Ooh, what's the use? Tell me Ooh, what's the use? [Outro] What's the use? Love becomes an evil of the mind What's the use? Love becomes an evil of the mind What's the use? What's the use? What's the use? [?] Heaven
