Background
The song is about protesting against the negative things in life[4] and was inspired by vocalist Adam Gontier's anger when he was in rehab for OxyContin addiction. The song was also featured in the video game WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 along with "Animal I Have Become" as an edited version.[4]
It is one of only a few songs by the band to feature profanity. During radio play, the line "If you feel so filthy, so dirty, so fucked up", "fucked" is replaced with "messed", and in the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007 video game, the word "fuck" in that line is backmasked so that it sounds somewhat like "if you feel so filthy, so dirty, so huffed up".

The second album by Ontario’s Three Days Grace balances scalding metallic hard rock like opener “It’s All Over” and the rabidly fist-pumping “Riot” with sincere post-grunge power ballads like “Never Too Late,” “On My Own,” and “Get Out Alive.”
