We've had discussions about the specific lyrics in Teach Your Children by CSN&Y:

"Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by"

So above is what we all hear.  I've researched a little on this lyric and one source uses fix while most use picks.  I read a message board where I think the person is right on.  The person says pick's, and that makes sense to me:

"Teach your children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's, the one you'll know by"

Make it read the one they pick (is) the one you'll know by.
That little apostrophe makes all the sense in the world to me.
