Deep Purple have released the third single from their upcoming album =1, which will be released on July 19 via earMUSIC. Lazy Sod follows in the sonic footsteps of Pictures Of You (released last month) and Portable Door (May),
The new song comes powered by a chunky riff straight out of the early 1970s, and finds Ian Gillan pondering the perilous state of the world and his reluctance to do anything about it. "The world's on fire, and I can't get my ass out of bed / The world is on fire, there's smoke all around my head," sings Gillan, before the chorus reveals the reason: he's a lazy sod.
