"Johnny Got his Gun" written by Dalton Trumbo, who also directed the 1971 movie. More or less, in the song where they say "Darkness; Imprissoning me. All that I see; Absolute Horror. I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself, living this lifeless hell" is referring to how Joe, the central part of the book, had his arms, legs, and face blown off in WWI and is having his body kept alive by the doctors, who do not realise he's still consious.
