If I had to live again, I'd change everything
'Cause everything I do, you know that I can't win
You say it isn't right, but you say it isn't wrong
How the Hell am I supposed to please everyone

Tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do
I ain't here for everybody, but I ain't here for you
You said it isn't right, but you said it isn't wrong
I wish somebody could tell me, what it is that I've done wrong

The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see

You know it's gonna get you now, and you know it starts to bring you down

Tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do
I ain't here for everybody, but I ain't here for you
It seems I have to fight, for all the things I want
Wish somebody could tell me what it is that I've done wrong

The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see

It's Forbidden

The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout Forbidden, makes me wonder what you see
Makes me wonder what you see

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.
