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 obscene
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 shouldn't know he's dying
But we know just where he's been
'Twas our little Jimmy Sinner
That I saw on the screen
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man
A Devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy, he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinner
Self righteous clown
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
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 obscene
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 shouldn't know he's dying
But we know just where he's been
'Twas our little Jimmy Sinner
That I saw on the screen
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man got busted
Miracle Man
A Devil with a crucifix
Brimstone and fire
He needs another carnal fix
To take him higher and higher
Now Jimmy, he got busted
With his pants down
Repent ye wretched sinner
Self righteous clown
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

The song refers to televangelist Jimmy Swaggart.
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.
La canzone si riferisce al "teleevangelista" Jimmy Swaggart.
Nel 1985, ins seguito al suicidio di un adolescente che si tolse la vita mentre ascoltava la canzone di Ozzy Suicide Solution, Swaggart iniziò una crociata contro la musica rock cogliendo ogni occasione per sottolineare la depravazione di Osbourne.
Ozzy ha avuto la sua rivincita nel 1987 quando Swaggart è stato fotografato con una prostituta e ha ammesso una dipendenza dalla pornografia. Swaggart da allora è annoverato tra i più grandi ipocriti della storia.
