It is fine that it is a cover, because the original song was a "cover" of the book "grapes of wrath". all the versions are great, this one is more poetic. The Woodie song "Tom Joad part 1 and 2" tells the story the most clearly.

Best cover in the history of covers. Even the Boss himself said this was insane. Check out the Bruce/Tom version, another awesome rendition. The lyrics hit every demographic, every feeling, every bit of what’s wrong with the world. It leaves everyone emotional at the end, I don’t care who you are.

Get a copy of the movie, Grapes of Wrath and when they are old enough let them watch Jimmy Stewart portray Tom Joad a poor and displaced young man from Oklahoma who had lost almost everything he knew in life except his family. The book by John Steinbeck is a very intense read that leaves you wondering just how many families were cast to the winds during the dust bowl times. Rage does it much better than springsteins version. He might have wrote the song, but Zack owned that song and made it his.

In case anyone is wondering Tom Joad is the main protagonist in John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath.". It's a story about the Joads and the hardships they face following the dust bowl which destroyed their ability to maintain their farm and force them west to California for better prospects. Tom, just out of prison for murder, comes home to learn of his family's plan to leave town and decides to join them even though it's a violation of terms of his parole. It's one of the original "working class hero" books and it won a Pulitzer and later the Nobel for writing. I won't tell you anymore. Read it if you're interested 🙂

“Ma, whenever ya see a cop beatin' a guy, wherever a hungry newborn baby cries, wherever there's a fight against blood and hatred in the air, look for me, Ma, I'll be there. Wherever somebody's strugglin' for a place to stand, for a decent job or a helpin' hand, wherever somebody is strugglin' to be free… look in their eyes, Ma, you'll see me. You'll see me. You’ll see me !
