  • It's falling, it's falling
    And outside the buildings
    Are tumbling down
    And inside a child on the ground
    Says he'd do it again

    And what am I to do?
    What in the world am I to say?
    There's nothing else to do
    He says he'll change the world someday
    I rejoice

    This morning I fell out of bed
    When I woke up to what he has said
    Everything's crazy
    But I'm too lazy to lie

    And what am I to do?
    Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
    And I can't change the world
    But I can change the world in me
    If I rejoice, whoa
    Rejoice

    And what am I to do?
    Just tell me what am I supposed to say?
    And I can't change the world
    But I can change the world in me
    If I rejoice

    I don't know how to change it
    Rejoice, and I won't change the world
    Rejoice
    Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice Writer/s: Adam Clayton, Dave Evans, Larry Mullen, Paul Hewson

  • Brian from Meriden, CtJust as Bono debated in their first big Rolling Stone interview in 1985 (Our Choice: Band of the 80s), why is religion so taboo in America?
    It's a subject we don't have to pretend doesn't exist.
    Some believe the Constitution protects us from religion.
    Religion is actually the first article provided protection for in the First Ammendment to the United States Constitution. Or so it says...
    Some seem to forget there is a reason for this and that the imagined fears which would otherwise require the inverse to be true are absolutely meaningless.
