This anthem from the Boss at times has been misinterpreted, taken up for causes which the song lyrics denounce. It's a song about working class people in the US who fight the wars, work the factories, ... The song addresses the situation of a vet who fought in Vietnam and came back to a life of uncertainty.
It's a powerful song.
