This song is very much about celebrities as well. "Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame" refers to celebrities who are metaphorically being sucked into "evil" lifestyles. and "There is no God to save you, if you don't save yourself" refers to how they don't try hard enough to get out of their situation. This line is also true about relgion though. People need to understand that simiply being religious and going to chruch on sundays isn't enough spirituality for what thier intentions are. No God truly can save you if you first don't save yourself. Its like getting over an addiction, getting over denial is when you frist make progress. You must admit to yourself your 'sins' and map out how to change your life before you can make real progress. I listen to this song mostly just to here Bruce sing it with such truth and strength and, there is a quality of personal emotion in it too.
