Black Sabbath: War pigs
En låt om vietnamkriget av Black sabbath. De skrev den när det verkade som att Storbritannien kanske skulle dras in i kriget och bandmedlemmarna tvingas ut i ett vidrigt krig på andra sidan klotet. Albumet Paranoid som låten är med på skulle från början hetat just war pigs men skivbolaget bestämde att det var för kontroversiellt.

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of deaths 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 role 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 judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
As the war machine keeps burning
No more war pigs of the power
Hand of God has sturck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings
All right now!
