[Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde and Kevin Churko]
Bombs exploding, and tears are flowing
Chasing rockets and gasping for
air
You can call it justice or retribution
Yet the reasons are never clear
Freedom is just man's invention,
and a soldier is
just a slave
Self inflicted, so addicted,
Bad habits are hard to break
[Chorus:]
I'm alive
Watching better turn to
worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
Without the righteous, without the faithful
We would never accept the
obscene
A false confession, a priest's obsession
Gives the demon a light to be seen
Burn the witch and hang
deserters
[Chorus:]
I'm alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
There's only
one choice to be made
We're thought restricted, and herd afflicted
The truth is so hard to take
The righteous and the
faithful
Give the deaf man to the blind
the world full of confusion
From a disease of the mind
[Chorus:]
I'm
alive
Watching better turn to worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
I'm alive
Watching better turn to
worse
One more time
Try to civilize the universe
Try to civilize the universe
