Black Sabbath With Ian Gillan - Zero The Hero.mpg

Update 10/24/2010 Lyrics added at the end.

Update 6/21/2009 Please keep your replies respectful. No rudeness, if you like Cannibal Corpse's version OK. I prefer the original but to each his or her own.

From the Born Again Album of 1983. A very underated but still excellent album.

Accept the fact that you're second rate, life is easy for you
It's all served up on a gold plated plate
and we don't even have to talk to you
Your face is normal, that's the way you're bred
and that's the way you're going to stay
Your head is firmly nailed to your TV channel
But someone else's finger's on the control panel

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impossibolity mother really a Hero

You sit there watch it all burn down
it's easy and breezy for you
You play your life to a different sound
No edge no edge you got no knife have you
Your life is a six-lane highway to nowhere
You're going so fast you're never ever gonna get down there
Where the heroes sit by the river
with a magic in their music as they eat raw liver

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impossibolity mother really a Hero

You stand there captain and we all look, you really are mediocre
You are the champion in the Acme form book
But I think you're just a joker
Your facedown life ain't so much of a pity
But the luv-a-duckin' way you're walkin' around the city
with your balls and your head full of nothing
it's easy for you sucker but you really need stuffing

What you gonna be, what you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Don't you wanna be, don't you wanna be brother
Zero the Hero
When you gonna be, when you gonna be brother
Zero the Hero
Impossibility impossibolity mother really a Hero

@lennydog666 Oops, sorry, had a couple of cooly pops in me at the time

[TheOrgolini]

Demonic riffs!

[lennydog666]

stop calling him Tommy. get it right, it's TONY IOMMI fool!

[thesmogmankills]

@kqp76t AMEN...this song has always been one of my favorites from Sabbath ..the video is kick ass and Ian has always been kick ass

[kqp76t]

Love this song, and think this album gets a bad rap. Trashed is another classic Sabbath song.Great sound with Ian Gillan, too bad they couldn't do more together. Also loved Ian Gillan with Perfect Strangers. He was at his prime here.I hope Tommy makes it.. For all you young stooges who never had the pleasure of seeing them live, and feel fit to dismiss them, go watch a beyonce video, this one might give you nightmares and is from the time when men were men! haha

black sabbath no es nada sin ozzy

[hank1972]

Good Lucky Tommy you can beat Lymphoa

[Sirscorps]

I'm almost positive that the guy that plays "Zero" in this vid, is in a mobile phone advert w/his twin brother. It's a mobile phone advert aimed @ "baby-boomers." Stupid as hell too.

Excellent song!!!!!!!!!!

[MythicShot]

In his book "Iron Man " , Iommi talks about how Guns n Roses " Paradise City " sounds like this. Maybe a tiny bit but i think he is stretching it to be honest

[beggarhipnotized]

Excellent! Love this song and Ian is the best vocalist in rock-n-roll. I bought the Born Again album and find it very actual and strong. T'was good times when Ian Gillan was the vocalist of Sabbath. Love Ian and TONY much!
