I don't believe his book
But the truth is not the same
Without the lies he made up
Don't believe in excess
Success is to give
Don't believe in riches
But you should see where I live
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in forced entry
Don't believe in rape
But every time she passes by
Wild thoughts escape
I don't believe in death row
Skid row or the gangs
Don't believe in the Uzi
It just went off in my hand
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in cocaine
Got a speed-ball in my head
I could cut and crack you open
Do you hear what I said
Don't believe them when they tell me
There ain't no cure
The rich stay healthy
The sick stay poor
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in Goldman
His type like a curse
Instant karma's going to get him
If I don't get him first
Don't believe in rock 'n' roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
I...I believe in love
Don't believe in the 60's
The golden age of pop
You glorify the past
When the future dries up
Heard a singer on the radio late last night
He says he's gonna kick the darkness
'til it bleeds daylight
I...I believe in love
I feel like I'm falling
Like I'm spinning on a wheel
It always stops beside of me
With a presence I can feel
I...I believe in love

How good music and bad reasons sound when one marches against an enemy!
I used to be a huge u2 fan, but lately I think Bono is just out for whatever publicity he can get, he's hypocritical in asking us to save the world when he can't be bothered paying his taxes( hey I don't always appreciate how my tax dollars are being spent but I'm not exempt!) and basicly his head is to far up his own backside to see it.
There is a song on Achtung Baby where Bono is singing about himself and he is being honest about he feels in life and that Acrobat
For those who have not heard it here are the lyrics
Don't believe what you hear, don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes you can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl, you had fire in your soul
What happened t'your face of melting snow
Now it looks like this!
And you can swallow or you can spit
You can throw it up, or choke on it
And you can dream, so dream out loud
You know that your time is coming around
So don't let the b*****ds grind you down
No, nothing makes sense, nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out if you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cause I need it now
To take the cup
To fill it up, to drink it slow
I can't let you go
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And don't let the b*****ds grind you down
What are we going to do now it's all been said?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read
And I must be an acrobat
To talk like this and act like that
And you can dream, so dream out loud
And you can find your own way out
And you can build, and I can will
And you can call, I can't wait until
You can stash and you can seize
In dreams begin responsibilities
And you can love, and you can love
And I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the b*****ds grind you down.
I also admit I see a bit of me in that song as well.
