Actually there was a song by Hanoi Rocks released in the 80s that was titled Boulevard of Broken Dreams, which was also the title song.

from wiki..
The song was written by Green Day (lyrics by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong), and was co-produced by Green Day and Rob Cavallo. In this moderate midtempo song characterized by moody and depressing lyrics, Green Day speaks from the point of view of the character Jesus of Suburbia from their American Idiot "rock opera". The song preceding this track on the album, Holiday, is supposed to be the character's "high" of being in The City and Boulevard of Broken Dreams is his loneliness after the fun stops. As described in the MTV's Green Day Makes a Video, Holiday is the party, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams is the hangover.
In the 2005 VH1 Storytellers program featuring Green Day, Billie Joe Armstrong has stated that the title of the song was "nicked" from a themed photo (of the same title) that features James Dean. [1].
its not a cover...they wrote it themselves....
