Hm, fair point. Geezer Butler was Black Sabbaths bassist, there's that. So the guy isn't just some dude at a label, handing a band a hit to sing. But I still will say that any member of Black Sabbath could write the lyrics too, Geezer was just the primary.
I've never liked that Elton John didn't really every write any of his own lyrics. But he's one of those people that make me look like a hypocrite when I say he is talented beyond belief, even though he wasn't much of a lyricist.
