Covered As: Sad But True by Apocalyptica
Sad But True by Iron Horse
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside
Open your eyes
I'm you
Sad but true
Metallica

Both Kid Rock and Snoop Dogg used this great song to further their careers (well, in the case of the latter, MTV used them to get the black audience vote on MTV Icon!). Sad but true!

Awesome song but a bit slow so I don't like it as much as the other song on this album.

What? no perfect? u guys are kidding me! Assholes, u guys didn't know that this song is a kickass heavy metal song by 'tallica? Dumbfucks! Right after James always says "I think, we gonna play some heavy now. That was all the warm-up stuff" The song is definitely SAD BUT TRUE. At first i could barely hear this is heavy. After some time, i realised there are alot of mixed distortion going on to this song. Yes slow, but godam heavy! Oh yea James did say that at S&M and AM RING. Watch out if he says it again.

So heavy - so heavy. However, it was so radically different for Metallica in that it was a heavy,slow and plodding song that it was difficult to digest at the time. Now, it is absolutely one of my favorite Met songs. Always be willing to at least try to listen to a new direction when your favorite band takes one. You might just really like it.
