Caution's subversive song of the day
Today's song is The Wall by Johnny Cash Just a truly great song. As usual I have bolded my favorite bit.

The Wall

There's A lot of strange men, in cell block ten
But the strangest of em' all
Was a friend of mine who speant his time
Starin' at the wall..
Starin' at the wall..

As He looked at the wall
So strong and tall
You could hear him softley curse
Nobody at all ever climbed that wall
But I'm gonna be the first..
I'm gonna be the first..

Well the warden walked by and said son don't try
I'd hate to see you fall
For there is no doubt that they'll carry you out
If you ever touch that wall..
If you ever touch that wall..

Well A Year's gone by since he made his try
But I can still recall
How Hard he tried and the way he died
But he never made that wall..
He never made that wall..


Well there was never a man who shook his hand
But I know a man who tried
The newspapers called that a jailbreak plan
But I knew it was suicide..
I knew it was suicide..

1. I like the choice
Though another Clash song might be appropriate too right about now...
