I'm not sure about the outro as the bass isn't too prominant or
definitive in the song, but that's the closest i've come. any
suggestions are gladly welcomed. hope this is ok for you all.

Mat Average	#1 by Mat Hancock at Aug 10, 1973 at 3:00 AM EST
	why is this song not so popular. Its my 4th favorite song off war....but thats still saying something. I think War is the best album of U2's carrear

Jake Badass	#2 by Jake Calhoun at Feb 28, 1980 at 4:44 PM EST
	Sometimes, when I'm upset, I close my eyes and imagine Bono listening to this song, and wondering how he let U2 get so shitty.

Daniel Average	#3 by Daniel Gordon at Aug 25, 1982 at 2:24 PM EST
	Irresistible7, beautiful description. I agree completely. Speaks to me in regards to the more ugly post-9-11 side.

Jezirae Wanna Be	#4 by Jezirae Williams at Mar 2, 1997 at 1:31 AM EST
	i love this song, it strips away any faking attitudes and talks about how people really are. they get caught up in a movement or a feeling, and they leave everyone else in the dust. they wash in and out with the tides, and don't care about anyone else. too many people say this is a special generation, or this is the one that will band together. truth is, this generation is like any before it, fake and faithless. and no amount of "movements" will set it right, and no amount of arguing, or drawing lines, or war. each person has to look out for the other, and each person has to build his own faith, nobody else can do any of that for them. and no show of pride or patriotism or parade can do any of that for them either.
