Skal til koncert med Die Herren i aften - de spiller eminent U2 kopimusik! U2 er som nogle nok ved MEGET aktive inden for miljø, menneske- og dyrerettigheder. Jeg fik lyst til at dele nogle af deres tekster med jer:
GOD Part II
Don’t believe the devil
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 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 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
While the sick stay poor
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 that rock ‘n’ roll
Can really change the world
As it spins in revolution
It spirals and turns
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 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 believe in love
Og denne her om lysten til nogle gange ikke at vide nogle af de grimme ting, der sker rundt om i verden lige nu - men som jo heller ikke forsvinder selv om man lader sig blænde - kortvarigt - af solen:
Staring at the sun
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of the willow tree
Creeps are crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with gods glue
It’s gonna’ get stickier, too
It’s been a long, hot summer
Lets get undercover
Don’t try to hard to think, don’t think at all
I’m not the only one,
Staring at the sun.
Afraid of what you’d find
If you took a look inside
I’m not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind
There’s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won’t disappear
It’s gonna itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace?
'Cause those that can do
Often have to
And those that can’t do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
I’m staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’d rather go blind
I’m nearly great
But there’s something missing…
You’re not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you’d find
You step back inside
Not sucking on my thumb
I’m staring at the sun
I’m not the only one
Who’s happy to go blind
Knus
