Too much near the truth they say
Keep it 'til another day
Let them have their little game
Delusion helps to keep them sane
Let them have their little toys
Matchbox cars and mortgaged joys
Exciting in their plastic ways
Frozen food in a concrete maze
You're gonna go insane
I'm tryin' to save your brain
All right
I don't know what's happening
My head's all torn inside
People say I'm heavy
They don't know what I hide
Take a life it's going cheap
Kill someone, no one will weep
Freedom's yours, just pay your dues
We just want your soul to use
You're gonna go insane
I'm tryin' to save your brain

Version 5
Capo: no capo
The tunning on the album is drop C#, but drop D works just as well to jam the song in
the garage. This is one of my fav. Sabbath songs. It is much tougher to keep all the
parts in order than to actually play the song. I am doing this from memory so it
includes the riffs and nothing about measures, or how many times to repeat. You'll
definalty need a copy of the song to sort this one out.
