Ozzy Osbourne: Crazy Train Meaning
Crazy Train Lyrics
Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not to late
To learn how to love
And forget how to hate
Mental wounds not healing
Life's a bitter shame

In 1980 Bob Daisley was recruited by Ozzy Osbourne to join the singer's new band, originally called Blizzard of Ozz, however when the album was actually released, it was credited to Osbourne alone and Blizzard of Ozz became merely the title of the album. Daisley contributed bass and backing vocals as well as SONGWRITING ON 8 OF THE 9 TRACKS. He also played and WROTE MOST OF THE MATERIAL on the follow-up album Diary of a Madman but both he and drummer Lee Kerslake were fired before the album was released. Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge appeared in their place in the artwork and credits of that album's original pressing. Daisley and Kerslake successfully sued Osbourne in 1986 to have their songwriting and performance credits reinstated on both those recordings and this was reflected on post-1986 pressings. Litigation with regards to these albums continued in 2002 when Daisley and Kerslake once again sued Osbourne for unpaid royalties for their contributions, however Osbourne responded to this by deleting the original recordings and re-issuing new versions with the bass and drum tracks re-recorded by Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin.
In 1983 however, Daisley went back to working with Osbourne, with whom he would continue to write and record throughout the 1980s, playing on and WRITING ALL THE LYRICS for Bark at the Moon and CONTRIBUTING MOST OF THE LYRICS for The Ultimate Sin (for which he was also originally uncredited) in 1986. In spite of his suit against Osbourne that year, Daisley maintained his working relationship with him up until 1991's No More Tears which featured his bass playing despite the presence of Mike Inez (who later joined Alice in Chains) in the album's promotional videos. -
The words and music were written by Bob Daisley not Ozzy. Get your information right please. Maybe you should ask Bob what inspired him to write the song. He has his own web site. Go check him out and ask him for yourself. Peace!

This is about the society going crazy and "getting of the rails" is getting out of the stream of everyone else's ideas. Breaking off from the flow.

He's going crazy from drug and alcohol addictions. You know what they always say,oppinions are like addictions, everyone's got one.

Crazy train is about conflicting ideologies, religious wars..."I'm goin off the rails......" R.I.P Randy

I agree with the first one. CT is about how crazy and screwed up the world is getting. It's not really hard to figure out if you are familiar with the term 'going off the rails'.
