Iron Man

"Iron Man" is a song by British heavy metal band Black Sabbath from their second studio album "Paranoid" released in 1970. It was later included on their initial greatest hits compilation "We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll", as well as all subsequent greatest hits compilations. Many musical acts have recorded cover versions of the song, and the song is frequently used and referenced during sporting events and in television shows and films. The title of the song was conceived by Ozzy Osbourne. Geezer Butler took to writing the lyrics around the title, but was careful not to make it about the comic book character so as to avoid a copyright infringement lawsuit. Thus making the song telling the story of a vengeful villain instead of a superhero. Nonetheless, instrumental sections of the song were used in the 2008 feature film Iron Man at the beginning of the credits, and in the television commercials.

[Intro] I am Iron Man [Verse 1] Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all Or if he moves, will he fall? [Verse 2] Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We'll just pass him there Why should we even care? [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field When he travelled time For the future of mankind [Chorus] Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfurl [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 4] Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved [Chorus] Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge [Guitar Solo] [Verse 5] Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again [Instrumental Outro]
