Cover art for Adam Raised a Cain lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

dude this is probably the best song off the whole album between the amazing guitar, lyrics and powerful vocals from bruce, he was wasnt even singing, more like moaning and wailing into the mike, so raw and magnificent, only bruce could do it. As for the lyrics, even the title gets you thinking, proposing the idea that it was the father adam that raised cain to be the terrible son he was makes you take a whole other outlook on the story, plus he worked this idea into his own relationship with his father. the best lines by far are:He was standin' in the door I was standin' in the rain With the same hot blood burning in our veins Adam raised a Cain What a picture!!! this is really the guts of an explosive relationship with a father. Kind of like you cant stand your old man, but you are so exactly like him in so many ways, and he is responsible for everything you dont like about yourself... man i could go on but this song does the job

F£$%ing love this song. The guitar at the start and between the 2nd + 3rd verse is awesome. Love the vocals on this song too.
