Today's song is One by Metallica. Very powerful song which was inspired by the classic Anti-war novel "Johnny Got His Gun"
Normally I would provide a link to purchase the song at iTunes but in the case of Metallica I cannot advocate supporting the band thanks to their unbelievably hypocritical stance on music-sharing.
I have bolded my favorite section. Even though I'm getting little to no response to posting these over the past week, I'm kind of enjoying throwing them out there. I've got a list of about 200 or so of my favorite "subversive" songs and plan to post a new one until the election.
As usual I have bolded my favorite section. At the bottom you can find a list of the previous songs I have listed.
One I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me
Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God, help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, help me
Darkness imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell
Landmine has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell
Revolution - The Beatles All Good Soldiers - Bad Religion For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield One - Metallica
