I actually recall this song being torn apart by "mom" activists back in the early 80's. They didn't have the written lyrics back then, for whatever reason, and Ozzy went to court about the song. I think that it was because a teenager killed him/her self and Ozzy was accused for motivating them with this song.

So, Ozzy went to court and defended himself on the lyrics and what they meant. That's why this song has made that particular impression on me.

Right around the same time, another metal band was in court over a song they did as well. I think that band was Quiet Riot... don;t recall that song though.
