New U2



Thanks to my buddy Tracy, I've gotten my hands on the new U2 album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The album will be released in a couple of weeks.

The CD is great. The last song is called Yahweh and here are some lyrical snippets:

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city
If it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart
Take this heart
Take this heart
And make it break
PS - If someone from U2's record company is reading this, I'm lying. I don't have the album.
