[Verse 1]
Told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking, but they'll never find it

[Chorus]
It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 2]
Where to go and where to see?
It's always been that way and it can never be

[Chorus]
It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 3]
Give it all and ask for no return
And very soon you'll see and you'll begin to learn

[Refrain]
That's it's alright, yes, it's alright

[Bridge]
Uh, uhhh-uhh
Uhh-uhh, uh-uh-uhhh

[Chorus]
It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Don't you know that it's so good for you
You can be making love and see it all go through

[Chorus]
But it's alright, yes, it's alright

[Verse 5]
Someone told you once about your friends and neighbours
They were always seeking but they'll never find it

[Chorus]
It's alright, yes, it's alright

[Outro]
Oh, ohhh-oh
Uh, uhhh-uhh
Uh, uhhh-uhh

Black Sabbath

From their start as a heavy blues-rock band called Earth in 1968, Black Sabbath survived over four decades with a total of 19 studio albums and numerous hits, but only “Paranoid” reached the top 10 UK Singles Chart, putting together one of the greatest rock bands of all time and setting the standards for music in their genre.

Virtually every single heavy metal band has cited the early Black Sabbath albums as a major musical influence and Black Sabbath have at least played some part in laying the foundations for most of heavy metal’s sub-genres, including thrash metal (“Symptom of the Universe” and “Into the Void”), doom metal (“Black Sabbath”) and stoner metal (“Sweet Leaf”). The band also explored many rock sub-genres, including hard rock (“Paranoid”), blues rock (“N.I.B.”), psychedelic rock (“Planet Caravan”) and, of course, the traditional heavy metal, being one of the precursors of this genre.

They were ranked by MTV as the “Greatest Metal Band” of all time and placed second in VH1’s “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock” list. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them number 85 in their “100 Greatest Artists of All Time.” They have sold over 70 million records worldwide. Black Sabbath were inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2005 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. They have also won two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance.
