Songs that apply to life as a Dub

Christ Alone

I know this has been covered before, but I can't find the threads...

I just wanted to post some lyrics that reminded me of life as a JW. I was wondering if there are specific songs that make you think of that time of your life, or apply to the WT directly (in your mind). Post the lyrics!

Here is one that I was listening to the other day that I thought applied:

The Unforgiven - Metallica

New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me

What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee unforgiven

You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee unforgiven

Christ Alone

The same day I was listening to Unforgiven by Metallica, this was on the radio. Again, made me think of how the WT makes you think.

"Crazy"

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly [radio version]
probably [album version]

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Uh, uh

Ha very true CA, HI,

I remember I think it was Shirley W that listed the song 'Wasted day's and wasted night's" that got me laughing and Cofty I think listed 'Losing My religion" those two really summed thing's up for me!!!

Badfish

When I was a young teenager I liked Metallica but my parents forbade me to to listen to "The Unforgiven" because a boy that was 3 years older than me met with the elders and told them he didn't want to be associated with JW's anymore. He gave them a letter with the lyrics to "The Unforgiven."

the opening for unforgiven still brings a flood of emotions.
