The story behind the song

The lyrics, penned by Billy Corgan, delve into the difficult relationship he experienced with his parents during his childhood. While it became a top-20 hit in several countries, the song faced some controversy in the UK due to a specific lyric. It was released as the third single from the album, with two distinct versions featuring different artwork and B-sides.
