This was a cover of Nine Inch Nails... Someone give Reznor some credit and stop saying this is Johnny Cash's "wisdom" at work. Cash was great, don't get me wrong, but he did not write this.
This later recording of Johnny Cash should be listened to and listened to and listened to until one has some realization of the meaning of the song as expressed by Johnny Cash, personally. Johnny Cash near the end of his life, Johnny Cash at his best.
Maybe you're the only viewer here with no soul or comprehension of how the best laid plans of men are smashed upon the rocks of life and revealed in time to be empty pursuits.
@mrmacmasonry This song mirrors his life perfectly, just a pity it's a cover from nine inch nails. I wish it was his song, but it still resonates. Fantastic!!!
I know it is called "Hurt". Empire of Dirt better describes the theme of the song. What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Five minutes of fame and fortune are worthless in the grand scheme of time and eternity.
if you're watching this then understand what he's talking about here, go back to dylan, lennon, and all of those who worked so hard to bring us the message through the censored media. peace
I feel really bad for saying this but from 00:19 to 00:41 I cry because I can relate so much

It's what happens in all of us: pride, selfishness. I agree; our country needs to realize its enthusiasm about its empires of dirt.
