	I don't get this song, but it sounds cool and it must be a great song live. It seems like the song is about rebelling, about biting the hand that feeds you. Yes, he is angry in the song, about something - no idea what.

	I love this song! Whenever some one pissed me off, I play this in my head.. Sad but true. "I would rather run, but I can't walk" sticks out in my mind...

	the song rocks! live versions are far better then the studio one! PJ ROCKS!
