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.

Then I suppose that is how he explained it?...anyways I find it odd when people accuse music artists of subliminally messaging their fans to cause harm to themselves or others. Why would they want their fans to come to harm, considering without them theres no touring or concerts or people to listen to the music. Such is the state of the world though, but yeah I think quite a few metal bands have had simular accusations.
