Also, this song was originally written by Bruce Springsteen and was released in 1995 on the album by the same name.

I have to disagree, I love this song better. Lyrics never leave your head, I love it! I must go out and check this book out.

I've heard Springsteen's version; Rage did it better. One of the best songs they did, IMO, especially since you can listen to it without fist-in-the-air, well, rage.
