# 10 Black Sabbath - War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses.

The whole song makes up for it though.

War Pigs

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh Lord yeah

Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight
They leave that all to the poor

Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait 'till their judgment day comes

Now in darkness world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgment God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing spreads his wings
Oh Lord yeah

Digg users defend black sabbath and offer much worse lyrics.

Idiots. War Pigs has more meaning today than it even did during Vietnam, but they don't get it. Digg posters pointed out that "masses" and "masses" used on the two lines are homonyms and have two completely different meanings, which is actually a great way of creating a rhyme with the same name but have a lot of meaning also. As many people said on Digg, 'My Humps' should be #1, only a brain dead gorilla could think that song was good.
 
What's wrong with #6? It looks fine to me...actually it's quite good. And don't be hatin' on Champagne Supernova, it's still the best song evar.

BLASPHEMER!!!

Anyways, you have to understand that when they wrote these lyrics, they were on drugs. No this is no speculation, Ozzy confirmed that they used drugs for inspiration. Check out Paranoid...

?

and why exactly you trying to start a P&N flame war in an ATOT lyric discussion?
:roll:

Maybe for the same reason you try to start a format flame war in a thread not even pertaining to HD-DVD or Blu-Ray?

Right. I just don't care for jerkoff a-holes that play unoriginal wannabe Beatles music that had their moment 12 years ago and now they're played out and no one cares.

If you HONESTLY consider Champagne Supernova the greatest song ever written.......

Enough said.

You also obviously have no sense of humor.
 
I don't like Black Sabbath very much but found it coolly ironic that kids in my high school, stupid metal heads, would sing it as if it's a black/death applauding song instead of the anti-war song that it is.. Like "Death and destruction - fvck yeah!".. It's as if they miss the entire point.
