As a result of this, they often try to fake their way through each day just to make it to the next, acting as if they have they know exactly what it is they're doing, when in reality, it's the opposite.
Despite this, however, they are told (implicitly by the voice of God) to fret not, and if they simply keep moving forward, everything will work out for the best.

This track's iconic guitar riffs have achieved mythical status in the world of rock and roll, and the singing is practically angelic in terms of its tone and style. Truly one of the all-time greats.
