==Live==
A difference from the studio version is the noticeably louder drums that are persistent in the choruses. The keyboard part is usually played by the bassist ([[Danny Lohner]] and [[Jeordie White]]).
During [[Woodstock]] and [[Self Destruct]], Trent ended the song with "I can never have... and you will never, ever, ever understand... how I feel."
Since [[Live: With Teeth]], the last chorus has seen an additional rising guitar screech.

===General===
The only notable difference between the album version and live version are the notably louder drums.
