Miracle Man Lyrics

I'm looking for a Miracle Man that tells me no lies, I'm
Looking for a miracle man who's not in disguise

I don't know where he'll come from and I don't know where
He's been, but it's not our jimmy sinner because he's so
Obscure.

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted

Today i saw a miracle man, on tv cryin', such a
Hypocritical man, born again, dying.

He don't know where he's goin' but we know where he's been
It was out little jimmy sinner on the screen.

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle
Man got busted, miracle man.

A devil he got busted with his pants down, repent ye
Wretched sinners, self righteous down.

Miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle
Man got busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got
Busted, miracle man got busted, miracle man got busted.

Miracle Man

In this song, Ozzy ridicules televangelist (and longtime foe) Jimmy Swaggart, referring to him as "Jimmy Sinner."

The song was written by Osbourne, his guitarist Zakk Wylde, and his bass player Bob Daisley . Daisley, who wrote the lyric, originally mentioned Swaggart by name, but decided it would be more effective to keep it nonspecific.

In 1985, after a teenager killed himself while listening to Ozzy's song "Suicide Solution," Swaggart went on a crusade against rock music and took every opportunity to point out Osbourne's depravity. Ozzy got the last laugh in 1987 when Swaggart was caught with a prostitute and admitted an addiction to pornography. Swaggart became known as one of the biggest hypocrites ever to walk the earth, while Ozzy got his own TV show.

Ozzy used an English church as his stage to skewer Swaggart in the music video, but events took an unexpected turn when some of his guests befouled the chapel. "When the music went on, the pigs all took a massive s--t at the same time," he remembered. "Because it was so f---ing loud in there. My wife went, 'Oh, f---!' The playback started and they all went pfffffftttt! Sixty pigs s--tting! I had a pair of brand-new suede boots on, and I never wore them again. I couldn't get the f---ing smell of pig s--t out of them."
