"And you become a monster, So the monster will not break you"
There is a lot of speaking of monsters these days. I noticed this song by U2... Peace on Earth Heaven on Earth We need it now I'm sick of all of this Hanging around Sick of sorrow I'm sick of the pain I'm sick of hearing Again and again That there's gonna be Peace on Earth Where I grew up There weren't many trees Where there was we'd tear them down And use them on our enemies They say that what you mock Will surely overtake you And you become a monster So the monster will not break you And it's already gone too far Who said that if you go in hard You won't get hurt Jesus can you take the time To throw a drowning man a line Peace on Earth Tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on Earth No whos or whys No one cries like a mother cries For peace on Earth She never got to say goodbye To see the color in his eyes Now he's in the dirt Peace on Earth They're reading names out Over the radio All the folks the rest of us Won't get to know Sean and Julia Gareth, Ann, and Breda Their lives are bigger than Any big idea Jesus can you take the time To throw a drowning man a line Peace on Earth To tell the ones who hear no sound Whose sons are living in the ground Peace on Earth Jesus in this song you wrote The words are sticking in my throat Peace on Earth Hear it every Christmas time But hope and history won't rhyme So what's it worth This peace on Earth Peace on Earth Peace on Earth Peace on Earth

2. "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process
he does not become a monster." Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900): * should have been reading Nietzsche instead of the Bye-bull

3. that whole CD is great in my mind....
track 4 is an homage to the woman under house arrest in Myanmar. I happen to like Kite on track 5. But you are right...Bono has som kick ass lines about bringing peace...like on Sunday Bloody SUnday, In the Name of Love, etc.
