Lyrics to the song:
Crazy,but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeah
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
Songfacts (the closest I could find to interpretations):
This song combines 2 different parts into one. One part of the song is asking when we can all learn to love, meaning when can we all be friends in a sense. The other part of this song is about heroin use: "Metal wounds not healing, driving me insane." (thanks, Joseph Skerratt - Stoke on trent, England)
Randy Rhoads was Ozzy's guitarist on this song. He was in Quiet Riot before joining Ozzy.
This was Ozzy's first single after leaving Black Sabbath. The group was billed as "Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard Of Ozz."
The 1987 live double-album Tribute contains a version of this which is a tribute to Randy Rhoads. Rhoads played on Ozzy's first 2 solo albums before he died in a plane crash while the band was touring in Florida in 1982. He was 25.
Rhoads wrote the music, Ozzy wrote the lyrics. This helped prove that Ozzy could succeed as a solo artist after leaving Black Sabbath.
The sound at the end is a studio engineer saying "An Egg" through an oscillator. Ozzy had asked him what he had for breakfast that morning.
This did not chart in America, but the album gradually sold over 1 million copies there over the next 2 years. It eventually would sell over 3 million in the US.
In 1999, this was used in Mitsubishi car commercials.
This was covered by Pat Boone, former gospel singer and Ozzy's old neighbor, for the album In a Metal Mood. His cover used a whistle and backup singers cooing "Choo, choo" as he sang it in a lazy, Las Vegas style. It gained popularity when it was used as the theme song for MTV's smash hit The Osbournes, and it was included on The Osbourne Family Album with a recording of Jack describing what a great neighbor Pat was. According to Jack, he dealt with everything you see on the show and more - logs flying through the window, constant yelling from the next house, etc.- and never complained once. Pictures exist showing Ozzy at Pat's house, in his garden, by his pool, etc. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)
Like most of the guitar solos he recorded with Ozzy, Randy Rhoads had to "double" all his guitar parts. This means, he had to play every note of this very difficult solo, exactly the same way, twice. This is one reason why the solo on the recording sounds so unique. Rhoads was a very proficient and influential guitar player. (thanks, Dave - Marieta, GA)
The instrumental of this song was the beat to Lil Jon's "Let's Go." (thanks, Jackson Robinson - Naperville, IL)

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I've listened to preachers
I've listened to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role
Mental wounds still screaming
Driving me insane
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I know that things are going wrong for me
You gotta listen to my words
Yeh-h
Heirs of a cold war
That's what we've become
Inheriting troubles I'm mentally numb
Crazy, I just cannot bear
I'm living with something that just isn't fair
Mental wounds not healing
Who and what's to blame
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
I'm going off the rails on a crazy train
my guess would be people hating on others ,,,,, who knows
