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 role to the poor, yeah.
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, ashes where the bodies burning. No more War Pigs have the power, Hand of God has struck the hour. Day of judgement, God is calling, on their knees the war pigs crawling. Begging mercies for their sins, Satan, laughing, spreads his wings. Oh lord, yeah! --Black Sabbath, War Pigs

... that despite its relevance today, this song was written c.1970.
Some things just don't change do they?
(Thanks for posting the lyrics! :hi: )

written and how relevant it is to today's world. Ozzy's version does nothing for me, but I do enjoy Faith No More's re-make, which stays true to the original. While I was looking for the lyrics, I found this link... http://www.bushflash.com/warpig.html
