Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a fight from the wall
[Chorus]
You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
The mob rules
[Verse 2]
Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you'll burn your fingers and you'll get hold of a flame
[Chorus]
It's over, it's done
The end has begun
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
[Chorus]
You've nothing to say
Oh, they're breaking away
If you listen to fools
[Verse 3]
Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around
[Chorus]
You're all fools
The mob rules
Written by: Geezer Butler, Ronie James Dio, Tony Iommi
