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 Driving me insane 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 _________________________ In a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy is 1997 album by Pat Boone in which Boone covers hard rock and heavy metal songs in a jazz/big band style. Boone promoted the album by appearing in leather clothing (and, at that year's American Music Awards, wearing a dog collar). He succeeded at propelling Metal Mood onto the Billboard record charts (making it Boone's first hit album in 35 years), but it did not please some of his longtime supporters who consider the heavy metal genre in bad taste, or worse.
His cover of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train would later serve as the theme song for Ozzy's reality show, The Osbournes. His effort to give rock songs a swing treatment was imitated later by his contemporary Paul Anka in the album Rock Swings.

Covering a song is always a daunting task. Many a time, a metalcore band oversimplifies the composition and piles pinch harmonics and distortion on a beloved heavy metal classic, with disastrous results. Other times, a progressive metal band will over-play one.
And sometimes, someone does something completely diferent. like this.
All.... this is the US of A. Clearly, Pat Boone pursued and obtained the legal authority to cover these songs. This could not have happened without the knowledge and consent (and licensing fees) of the original artists. This was a surprise to nobody, but the listener. The poor, poor listener!
