Black Sabbath - Never Say Die Lyrics






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's mirror said "partners in crime!"

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

Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, `till it's ready, taking it slow

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

Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die

Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
Children get together, you can save us all
Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down, turn around, everything's fine

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

Black Sabbath Never Say Die Comments
  1. t.... ....

    the seventh grade, was great, and largely because of this album!
    remember how, as a kid, like in the seventh grade, life was so much more mysterious or hopeful? i sort of do, when i revisit some of these favorite tracks, man! it's like 1978! i'm like, thirteen, and have barely begun to mess around on mom's acoustic guitar, --guitars are a great thing to get friendly with! don't let it frustrate you! it's your friend!
    always respect the guitar, it's a gift from the gods, if ever there were such things! sometimes, as in my case, it might take forty years before it suddenly becomes easy and way more fun!
    you don't stop! but it's okay to take breaks! try to be cool to everyone, try your best! it will definitely be a good thing! then, thank me later! good luck!
    this band could do no wrong, at least as long as the heaven and hell album was still the latest thing! respect! haha! a few songs on 'mob rules' were also great! happy hunting!
    [hey, doesn't it go, 'no one's innocent, partners in crime', rather than what's printed above? i never knew but that's how i just now heard it]

    This is a good sabbath album fuck what any one thinks rock on

  23. J.... L....

    The boys are back in town

  24. C.... B....

    I believe the lyrics Geezer and Ozzy wrote probably kept me alive. Especially this song. There are many more.


    I'll never understand how the religious right can accuse Sabbath of Satanism. Obviously never read any of the lyrics in full. Just quote everything out of context.

    C.... B....

    You're right, they're idiots...( the religious right) ...:) We Sab heads know

  25. c.... s....

    Ozzy's words of wisdom I live by. Almost died twice. But baby I battled back. Kicked that sucker in the ass and threw him down the stairs yelling NEVER SAY DIE....TJ STRUSKA

  26. R.... G....

    this is the shit right here

  27. h.... ....

    this is their Toronto album

  28. S.... M....

    Had this on 8 track.

  29. M.... G....

    Cut down treble. Boost the bass. Drummer is raging!

    M.... G....

    Sab is best left in the middle...Their engineers did just fine mixing the frequencies...

  30. R.... ....

    Tema dos Lordes do nexo

  31. M.... ....

    Did you know this song sounds like rooftop run from sonic unleashed?

  32. W.... ....

    never noticed this on the album cover un till today and i was looking and wondering what it was in the clouds and it's dead soldiers faces and one is a cartoon crow like character.

  33. J.... J....

    AWESOME
    AWESOME BAND,
    AWESOME BEGINNING,
    A W E S O M E !!! LONG LIVE HEAVY MEDAL. 2019

  36. j.... j....

    Your Madruga is disturbed
    Step on the hat
    When you hear about rent

    Your Madruga goes crazy
    Your Madruga gets in the way
    When Quico calls him a riot

    But Seu Madruga is good people
    And so live happily
    Without in life losing faith

    Maybe one day suddenly
    You Madruga, simply
    Win the loteca as he wants

    What's up

    Mr. Madruga the millionaire
    Now broke the branch
    Of the whole population!

    Gave home to everyone
    Because then you spoke deeper
    What he has in his heart!

    Rich, rich!
    The rent, the fourteen months
    I'll pay, I'll pay the arrears all!
    I'll pay in advance! I am rich!

    Ah, it was a dream!
    IT'S
    But I'm still laughing!
    And it will even work!
    Maybe one day
    My day will come!

  37. J.... R....

    I'm man

  38. I.... M....

    Never say die

  39. M.... c....

    Ozzy singing this make it so much better

  40. K.... C....

    I remember this from Speak of the Devil album. Freaking awesome

  41. a.... o....

    Damn cool album cover. One of their best LP for me.

    a.... o....

    you ever noticed their's some interestingly freaky stuff in the clouds? it's real macabre and very heavy metal

    a.... o....

    @Wickedvoid96 trying to take a closer look at it. Hope to see what you mentioned. So far cant see anything freaky!

    a.... o....

    @ali ogoi go to google and look up different version of the record and you will see, just look at several different ones.

    a.... o....

    @ali ogoi i thought this resolution was a little better

  42. J.... A....

    I never appreciated this song until now. A real toe-tapper.

  43. S.... �....

    Škvarč, če bereš to me spusti nazaj u band prosim :P

  44. P.... L....

    Their worst!?!? Oh! Dont you ever say die!

    P.... L....

    Yes sir, these boys helped shape my life

  45. O.... p....

    *memories of brutal legends flying back at you*
    or me at least

  46. P.... C....

    This was our warm up song for wrestling matches in high school one year

  47. R.... H....

    The Boys Are Back in Town The Boys Are Back in Town

  48. D.... S....

    Well Ozzy was never at his best in a studio.

    D.... S....

    Del Shoemaker Wrong. Ozzy Rules in the studio. Only hit or miss ,song to song live

  49. M.... O....

    When I retire from working Il have this song playing loud. It's so upbeat and a happy little number 😊😊😊

    M.... O....

    I meant to say Il play this song when I retire and I walk out the gates at work 😋😋😋😋😋

  50. H.... F....

    Technical Ecstasy was the worst for me. Not one track from that album gets played live and its the only album of the Ozzy era that I don't play.

  51. A.... C....

    Class album.
    Never got why ppl say its not.

  52. c.... r....

    I have this T-Shirt, the looks I get when I walk into places, Never Say Die!!

  53. j.... b....

    This song is fckn awesome. Its more melodic but still Sabbath 🤘🤘🤘🤘

  54. N.... y....

    I would go on a limb and say this album is probably one of the best albums they ever put out. Technically it is an absolute animal, Ozzys voice is so great in it, the production (to my non producer ears) is great for the time and the tracks just flowed together. It is such a departure from all their earlier stuff it kind of puts a person off kilter, but if you can separate it and look at it as its own, it's a stellar record.

  55. R.... B....

    Underrated album This is the album you never listened to from Sabbath that you probably should. Technical Ecstasy is the album you avoid, except Gypsy!

  56. F.... L....

    I love this song...never got the recognition it desrves...

  57. J.... R....

    Goosebumps every time!!!

  58. W.... C....

    One of my favorite's and most awesome but under played jams!!!!

  59. B.... R....

    Please...please don't write lyrics unless you understand English...please.

  60. J.... T....

    Great performance deserves memorable moments and don't you forget it! 🎯☣🐘🚾☣☣☣📲🗽🗽🗽🎭🎭

  61. U.... M....

    The Ozzy Opera will never die, the voice is absolutely unique

  62. F.... T....

    Who else is fixing they’re zippo wick while listening to this

  63. A.... W....

    The main riff is basically Green day's Stuart and the Ave. Written in 1995 lol. More layered of course.

    A.... W....

    Thos this is 20 years older.

  64. T.... W....

    That was one of my nicknames in the Navy. Never say die.

  65. m.... ....

    If you take away Ozzys voice and replace it with Paul Stanleys, I would think it was a KISS song.

  66. R.... B....

    I prefer the version off speak of the devil, sorry Oz

  67. z.... ....

    One of their best songs, regardless of this album.

  68. z.... 1....

    How is this thought of as the worst album, I will never understand. Especially Johnny Blade, nasty rythm and a story about Ozzy's bully...how can that be shit!? I love it

    z.... 1....

    The critics hated it as I recall, just as they hated all their releases, but this one they particularly loathed but they never reflected the fans of the group.

  69. R.... D....

    This album receives a lot of flak but the first side is a classic; Nevers Say Die, Johnny Blade, Juniors Eyes, Hard Road.

    R.... D....

    Rock Dinosaur love love love Hard road!

  70. A.... L....

    Kkkkkkkkkk jurava que fosse a introdução da música do seu madruga

  71. h.... d....

    This song makes me imagine a futuristic world in which everyone is immortal unless they say the word die. Weird.

  72. B.... F....

    I can't accept that people thought this was their weakest album. Faith in humanity lost.

  73. J.... M....

    I can't believe 217 idiots give this a thumbs down 😎👍👍👍👍👍🏇 giddy up

  74. b.... 5....

    Pop song here. Still like it

  75. M.... O....

    This song is so true

  76. L.... L....

  77. J.... H....

    J. Myrick. This one is meant for you

  78. J.... M....

    This is an excellent song I wouldn't know it was Black Sabbath if I didn't already know it was Black Sabbath

  79. M.... L....

    Hammer Come Back einer tot geglaubten Legende!!!

  80. M.... ....

    THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH BLACK SABBATH!

  81. m.... ....

    This is a song when everybodys ANGRY and yelling come on start the show with 70,000 fans at the coliseum in L.A. California just as loud as HELL they start the set NEVER-SAY-DIE And the fans go ape shit loud yelling SABBATH, SABBATH, SABBATH.......One Badass song!!

  85. N.... M....

  86. K.... ....

    The Damned. I Think I'm Wonderful. 1982. Damned may have ripped off the guitar chords. Main riff. Two different bands though.

  87. 2.... M....

    Anyone here while searching for Never Say Die vol 6?

  88. d.... ....

    Favorite sabbath. I dont even like sabbath...

  89. J.... F....

    This album is not bad at all,the only thing that's wrong with it is that it don't have much material like any other black sabbath albums.

  90. P.... M....

    **Are those 2 guys pilots or crude oil pipeline workers? Lol. They look to be covered in oil!

  91. O.... S....

    Never Say Die tops the list as my favourite Sabbath album, mixed wonderfully, great vocals from Ozzy and Bill, social commentary in the lyrics is A+, guitar is inspiring, Never Say Die is a jazzy, funky, hard rocking masterpiece start to finish - worth repeated listenings since 1978!

  92. m.... t....

    this one is sabbath doing the dickies doing sabbath

  93. B.... G....

    Great Album!

  94. K.... ....

    Cool : )

  95. c.... o....

    Ozzy, do you realize that it's too late? You have become imortalized.
