The cerebrum has suffered massive and reparable damage
You never know what has happened to him If I have not been sure of this,
I would not have permitted him to live Where am I? Father, what happened? I need help What is democracy? What is democracy?
It got something to do with young men killing each other, Arthur
What if its my turn, will you want me to go?
For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son
It is impossible for any severed individual to experience pain
Pleasure, memory, dream or thought of any kind
This young man will be as unfeeling as unthinking as the dead
Until the day joins them I don't know weather I'm alive or dreaming or
dead or remembering How can you tell what's a dream and what's real
When you can't even tell when your awake and when your asleep
Where am I?
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 with me
Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh, please God, wake me
They kept my head and chopped off everything Oh, God, please make them hear me They won't listen, they won't hear me
They got to wake me up Ill be like this for years, hear 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
It's like a piece of me (sing365)
The song's theme and lyrics are based on Dalton Trumbo's 1939 novel Johnny Got His Gun, telling the tale of a soldier whose body is severely damaged by a mortar shell. His arms, legs, eyes, mouth, nose and ears are gone and he is unable to see, speak, smell, or hear. His mind functions perfectly, however, leaving him trapped inside his own body. Trumbo directed the movie adaptation in 1971, from which the footage for the "One" music video is taken.
