iheartlarry It's a sample from an old movie, but i can't remember which. I'll have a go at transcribing it. There's a man shouting a little kids repeating after him (in caps)
"I wanna be an airborne ranger
I WANNA BE AN AIRBORNE RANGER
I wanna live a life of danger
I WANNA LIVE A LIFE OF DANGER
(drums kick in)
Burn
BURN
Death
DEATH
Kill
KILL
KILL
KILL"
Kind of disturbing really.
The song I think is about suitcase atomic bombs. Think Sum of All Fears, think the biggest nightmare of the US: terrorists get their hands on a nuke and can do whatever they like with it.
I love the fact that this is one of the most cheerful sounding songs U2 have written, but when you listen to the lyrics its pretty chilling, especially since it was written before the concept of anyone other than a superpower possessing a nuke was really around.
