Rusty Cage Lyrics
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
To watch my blood begin to boil
But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bones
And ride a pack of dogs
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
I'm gonna break my
Gonna break my rusty cage and run
Like God's eyes in my headlights
When the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining icepicks on your steel shore
It means that Johnny Cash is a bad-ass,
I don't think that any of you are getting it at all. Chris Cornell wrote Rusty Cage in 1992. Johnny Cash identified with the song for the same reason I do. Anyone who has ever been seriously addicted to anphetamines can relate. alot of people think that Rusty Cage is about revenge, but it is really about liberation. Johnny Cash liked it so much he decided to release a cover with Soundgardens permission.
Johnny Cash spent most of his later career trying to bridge the gap between generational and cultural music styles. He was inducted into both the Country Music and Rock & Roll Hall's of Fame and also enjoyed Gosple, Blues, and Bluegrass. He was friends with Neil Young who I believe kicked off the Grunge era. Johnny Cash also released a cover of Nine Inch Nails "Hurt".
this is a soundgarden cover.... but it's cool
umm yes it is. It was originally soundgarden's.
I love Soundgarden but as with so many other songs Cash has borrowed, he made this his own all the way. Thanks Johnny.
Disliking Cash doesn't necessarily mean you have bad taste. But it doesn't help. And people don't think he's a saint because he's no longer alive, the man was a musical icon, an immensely talented singer and songwriter
uhm.... this is interesting...... I wanna hear this song, can I get it off of WINmx? or something?
I love the original, and would like to hear Johnny Cash's version it......
this man is seriosuly an artist, to apply his own style to songs, in completely differnet genres the way he does is amazing....
Definately a Soundgarden cover. No doubt about it. I would also love hear how Johnny Cash made this song his own. It just goes to prove there are no boundries in music. Many good songs in many different genres.
brilliant cover.. huge soundgarden fan.. especially Badmotorfinger the album this song comes from but I honestly think this version is even better than the original!
man. i did not know JC did this. Only ever heard this by soundgarden, and not heard any others by them. Gonna have to get this.
