Black Sabbath - Hand of Doom/Rat Salad (Alternate Lyrics)

"Hand of Doom" and "Rat Salad", by Black Sabbath at Berlin, Germany in 1970. This bootleg is also known as 'Live at Plumpton', but that is an error. This bootleg is famous because it features the first known live renditions of not only this song, but "Paranoid" and "Iron Man" as well; a good three months before 'Paranoid' was released. Enjoy!

What you gonna do?
Time's caught up with you.
Now you know the score.
You won't trip no more.

People end up dead.
I threw my head.
What's you gonna do?
Now it's caught up with you.

I send death in part.
I even know the score.
Drop the acid pill
Watch the way it kills.

Fun you're gonna do.
Death's caught up with you.
Now you know the score.
You won't trip no more.

Oh you never said you're living death.
I know because I'm ill.
And you go on the way like death.

I know I know the drug.
Hold me baby.

You fools I know you're not like that.
And I believe in your word.
So you go on your way now girl.
So don't stop sinking now.
Hold me baby.

Go on your way now girls.
Don't come to stay.
You're leaving tomorrow baby.
Now get on the train.
Go on and have your fun.
Go get a date.
Want you to build now baby.
I check you today yeah.

Now I know the scene
Your skin starts turning green
Your mind begins to blank
So have another tank.

What's he gonna do?
Time's caught up with you.
Now you know the score.
You won't trip no more.

I want you to be there.
Holding on to my hair.
Blood begins to boil.
Your mind begins to recoil.

People there are dead.
Bullets through the head.
What you gonna do?
Time's caught up with you.

True, and the only new kid rockbands such as JB (i'm disgraced to spell their name) are making horrible rock.

[MightySaturn5]

...well said jon however the lyrics or bands "message" were all from Terrence "Geezer" Butlers fertile mind.

By the way I agree that the first albums tone was stunningly clear yet overwhelmingly heavy at the same time....I mean the Parinoid album has some of their best work on it but is not as "in your face" tone wise as the first album

[CoooooooookieMonster]

Just a beast of a band. <3

@homeoftheblues

Reading for comprehension must not be your thing...

Anytime I mention Geezer, immediately after is the word "lyrics". Geezer did however provide certain riffs for certain songs, namely the main riff in "A National Acrobat", but again, his MAIN contributions were lyrical, as I've said about 5 times already. Now, if you can't get that through your thick skull, then you sir, are pretty much hopeless.

Now get your head out of your ass ASAP before you debate me, ASSWIPE. :)

@blacksabfan FOOL!,you clearly stated MUSIC not LYRICS,get your head out of your ass ASAP before you debate me,ASSWIPE

[blacksabfan]

@homeoftheblues

What did I say that was stupid? Can you read? Or are you the second asshole who's illiterate? With regards to Geezer, again, I ALREADY FUCKING SAID THAT. Okay?

And for the record, when someones starts out by saying things like: "VOLUMES of research ive done myself", those are usually the people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. Just saying.

[homeoftheblues]

@blacksabfan Friend your stupidity is astounding,VOLUMES of research ive done myself have proven Geezer wrote alot if not most of Black Sabbath lyrics,but whend72 is also wrong and equally stupid in saying Geezer was fucked up and came up with the name Black Sabbath,Black Sabbath wasent named Black Sabbath wasent named so until after the first performance of Black Sabbath the lyrics of which(dispite popular belife)are not satanic,and are stemmed from a supernatural experience had by Geezer

[MrPwnzawr]

NEVER SAY JB FOR JUSTIN BEIBER!!!! it offends Jack Black and The Tenacious D
