Lyrics you've misheard - but that still worked

Spiritual_Chaos

As in, not "45 virgins and a pelican" and such crazy examples.

Here are three that took me some time to realize were wrong:

Clash - Know Your Rights
This is a Public Service Announcement, Wichita!" 
(as in making the PSA be targeted for a specific american city)

(real one: This is a Public Service Announcement - with Guitar!"



Neil Young - Needle and the Damage Done
But every junkie likes to sit in the sun   
(as in no matter how down on your luck you are you are still a human like every one else)

(real one: But  every Junkie's like a setting sun)



Pearl jam - Grievance 
Pull the innocent from a crowd, Raise the stakes then bring 'em down
(as in using ones overwhelming power advantage (government etc) to push people down and keeping them down. Like the chipleader in a pokergame can do)

(real one: Pull the innocent from a crowd, Raise the sticks then bring 'em down)

There are sooooo many songs out there with lyrics that are easily mistaken. I laugh just thinking about it. 😄
