About Am I Going Insane (Radio)

"Am I Going Insane (Radio)" is a single by the band Black Sabbath on the 1975 album Sabotage. Although common conception is that the suffix "Radio" was said to be added to the title because it was made for the purpose of being played on the radio, drummer Bill Ward said that it was Cockney rhyming slang for "mental"--radio-rental. Critics have noted the coincidence of the title and the fact that all Black Sabbath members except Tony Iommi were later clinically depressed. Also, as the song fades, there is a disturbing cry that sounds like someone going 'mental. ' It has been theorized that the recording was of Jessica, Ozzy's daughter, but a 1975 interview with him suggests that it was not Jessica. The engineer for Sabotage revealed that it came from an unmarked cassette found at the studio. more »

Everybody's looking at me
Feeling paranoid inside
When I step outside I'll feel free
Think I'll find a place to hide

Tell me people, am I going insane, insane? 
Tell me people, am I going insane, insane? 

Every day I sit and wonder

Now I feel I'm going under
Now my life is hard to see

So tell me people, am I going insane, insane? 
Tell me people, am I going insane, insane? 

So I'm telling all you people
Listen while I sing again
If I don't sound very cheerful
I think that I'm a schizophrenic

So, tell me people, am I going insane, insane? 
Tell me people, am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane, insane?
Tell me people, am I going insane, insane?

Black Sabbath are an English rock band, formed in Aston, Birmingham in 1969, by Ozzy Osbourne (lead vocals), Tony Iommi (guitar), Geezer Butler (bass guitar), and Bill Ward (drums).
