For me "How long could I get away with driving like an ABSOLUTE ASSHOLE all the time before I lost my licence or had an accident." Speed limits, red lights, stop signs... forget them all.

No, that's a landmine victim. 'One' is an antiwar song.

"Landmine has taken my sight, taken my speech, taken my hearing..."

I guess someone forgot to tell Metallica when they were writing the song that it wasn't about a landmine.

And I guess someone previously forgot to tell Dalton Trumbo when he wrote Johnny Got His Gun that it wasn't an anti-war novel.

And then they forgot to tell him again thirty-two years later when he directed the movie adaptation, Johnny Got His Gun.

And then, worst of all, they forgot to tell the directors of the music video that "One" was anti-war and Johnny Got His Gun was about a landmine and that using scenes from the film in the music video wouldn't be thematically appropriate.

Damn, there were a lot of missteps! Good thing you set it all straight!
