Born in a window
Nobody's fool
Raised in a prison
You called a school
Taught young in legends
Told what to do
I handed my childhood
Over to you
Traveling endlessly, I'm searching my mind
I'm almost afraid of what I will find
Wandering aimlessly, oh what can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/black_sabbath/over_to_you.html ]
Watching for freedom
Fighting our wars
Feeding our children
Keeping your laws
Someday you'll suffer
And what I'll do
I'll hand all your promises
Over to you
Standing inside myself, I'm losing control
You made me believe in the stories you told
Waiting impatiently, what else can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future is blue
What can I do?
Tears filled of sadness
Stealing myself
Which burning secrets?
What do they tell?
Mad politicians
Can tell it too
I handed my children
Over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you...
How when ozzy, or when people in general are young, they believe what they are taught and told. When they get older, they start to realize just how much of what they were taught and told were actually lies and propaganda designed to brainwash them into unconditional allegiance with the country they hail from. This leads to feelings of anger, confusion, depression, disillusionment, distress and a sense of powerlessness to change a picture that is much badder, bigger and uglier than any individual.
