Never Say Die

"Never Say Die" is the title track from the 1978 album Never Say Die!. It was the last single Black Sabbath wrote with singer Ozzy Osbourne, who left the band and went on to a successful solo career, until 1998's Psycho Man. Osbourne actually left the band before Never Say Die! was released, but came back to record this album. The band collectively chose the title as a phrase that summed up the previous ten years of their lives. It deals with never giving up. The group also performed the song on Top of the Pops in 1978. The song was also covered by Megadeth on the Black Sabbath tribute album Nativity in Black II. It was also covered by Overkill on their cover album Coverkill. Ozzy Osbourne Covered Never Say Die!

[Verse 1] People going nowhere, taken for a ride Looking for the answers that they know inside Searching for a reason, looking for a rhyme Snow white parasite, partners in crime [Chorus] Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again [Verse 2] Sunday satisfaction, madness on the rise Truth is on the doorstep, welcoming the lies All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go Hold tight, do it right, taking it slow [Chorus] Don't they ever have to worry? Don't you ever wonder why? It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again [Bridge] Don't you ever say die Don't you ever say die Never say die [Verse 3] Fading silver lining, writing on the wall Children get together, you can save us all Future's on the corner, showing us our time Slow down, turn around, everything's fine [Chorus] There's no need to have a reason There's no need to wonder why It's a part of me that tells you Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die Never, never, never say die again [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Never say die
