“Under The Sun” talks about feeling pushed to believe in religion and fighting back against that. Ozzy is basically saying
I’m going to do what I want and no one is going to stop me
The track has a very heavy and catchy guitar riff that just makes you want to headbang the entire song.
The track a...
[Verse 1]
Well, I don’t want no Jesus freak to tell me what it’s all about
No black magician telling me to cast my soul out
Don’t believe in violence, I don’t even believe in peace
I’ve opened the door, now my mind's been released
[Verse 2]
Well, I don’t want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky
No, I don’t want no one to tell me where I’m gonna go when I die
I wanna live my life, I don’t want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself ’cause no one else is true
[Bridge: "Every Day Comes and Goes"]
Every day just comes and goes
Life is one long overdose
People try to rule the nation
I just see through their frustration
People hiding their real face
Keep on running their rat race
Behind each flower there grows a weed
In their world of make-believe
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
So believe what I tell you, it’s the only way to fight in the end
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn’t have to pretend
Don’t let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind
