We all know it's Johnny Cashs song now though.

Trent Reznor even said so.

Trent is wrong, the original is better. Johnny's is ok.

I like the original key better - may have been harder for Cash to sing in, though

I just like the original context of anger and frustration about drug addiction more than country western melancholy.

I tried wording that in a way that doesn't sound like a dig at Cash's version, but that really is how I see the difference. One is just more energetic and in the moment while the other is looking back in resignation and the former is my personal preference. Cash's version is fine, I just disagree that his is better when both are peak quality for their genres.
