Your thoughts are compromising
Self - centered, patronized
Your image supersedes your soul
You find me mystifying
Subhuman, so annoying
You can't have me under control
You think you live forever
You don't find that profound
You won't think, you're so clever
When you hear thunder underground, all right now
Your morbid fear of losing
Destroys the lives you're using
You only have one point of view
The stigma of delusion
Confirms your self illusion
And after all this could be you
When you hear thunder underground, here we go now
Could it be that I have found my mind or have I gone insane?
Roller coaster of the madness and there's only me to blame
The ever faithful hand of doom will take the pain away
I'll never know the answer to it all 'til my dying day
Your bullshit culture licking
Can't stop the deathwatch ticking
You're only mortal after all
Your appetite for power
Subverts your every hour
But every time the mighty fall

    Well somebody is going to be dissapointed when they hear thunger underground, because obviously it isn't what they are expecting...

    They are only mortal after all...but for now they can go on with their shallow minded lives...

    ozzmosis is my favorite album of ozzy's. first of all because i know this is the stuff ozzy really cares about in life. and second of all its stuff i care about and belive too also it sounds awsome. this song in particular i think is about ozzy's feelings towards leadership of the country and big buissness

    It's not amongst my favourite Ozzy songs. It's okay though. I think it's about all the people who claim Ozzy to be evil and the antichrist, and their hypocrisy. Thunder Undrground being the sound of hell opening up for them.

    "mtv fans like modern ozzy which sux"

    For one, I wouldn't exactly call this modern Ozzy, considering at the time of your comment, the album was already eleven years old. For two, if there was any album (besides Blizzard) that MTV fans would be oblivious to, Ozzmosis would be it, considering that every album before it was a major hit with the MTV crowd, and everything afterward, he's had fame from his reality show to back him and his music up. The only time you would see anything from Ozzy on MTV in 1995, it would be the video for "I just Want You" at like 3 in the morning. The other singles ("Perry Mason" & "See You on the Other Side") were pretty much ignored, and this song certainly would have never been played on MTV then.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
