 All aboard! Hahaha 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 Yeah yeah Heirs of the cold war That's what we've become Inheriting troubles, I need to leave now 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 |

Remember what I said about great songs almost always beating out fun songs? This is one of those very rare cases were I'll take fun over greatness. Give me the Blitz!

I won't argue with which goes on, but I'll throw it to greatness here.

As am I. I don't think Crazy Train is even one of his best works; it's OK, but he's done better. And Ballroom Blitz is iconic, which is one of the reasons it's covered by something like two dozen bands...

Hmm... Ballroom Blitz, the song that gets stuck in your head, and goes around and around your mind for a month, versus Crazy Train... Ozzy Ozzbourne back when he HAD a mind, before he became the poor, sickly charicature of himself that we see on MTV nowadays...
As Pintsize from Questionable Content once said, "Crazy Train is the best song ever." |

The opening riff to Crazy train is one of the greatest guitar riffs in history. I love playing it and it certainly gets my vote here.
