Favorite Song Lyrics

Of course, Hurt was a Nine Inch Nails song originally, written by Trent Reznor. But Cash made one lyric change:

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

The Reznor original was "crown of sheet" (the forum'll change that to sheet, but you know what it is). 'Thorns' is so much better.
Certainly, although I'm primarily thinking of the applicability to his own life (and his haunting video) rather than the penning of the lyrics themselves.

For that matter, Strange Fruit was written by a white dude.
