The Electric Co.
U2
~~*~~
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout, shout, you're inside out
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
Red, running red
Play for real
Talk and feel
A hole in your head
You won't shout
You're spoon fed
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.
If you don't know
Electric Co.

It's difficult to convey to you the sense of power
that overcame me the first time I heard this song.
This brand new group named U2 had tapped
into some vein deep into my soul,
and I fell in love with them on the spot.
Their early music is so supercharged, so
rebellious and defiant ...
It's difficult to put into words how it makes me feel.
Their later work, especially after
No Line On the Horizon,
which I consider a masterpiece,
has been disappointing and very mediocre,
music written for aging Boomers more than it is
for that eternally youthful rebel spark deep, deep down,
one that, speaking as a Boomer,
never died within my soul.
Perhaps I'm different than my peers.
I probably am.
If so, I am eternally grateful.
My hope is that U2 returns to these roots,
because I'm certain they haven't been,
nor can they ever be, exhausted.
