Caution's subversive song of the day
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

1. Could you keep a running list of what you've posted?
I keep missing these threads, and I enjoy them.

Thanks :)
