| Freaks. :p Obviously the song is about a self-righteous bastard who preaches humility and a born-again religiosity but is, in fact, two-faced and full of shit. It's the mirroball man all over again. It's Bono riffing on the weaselly gloss-coated hypocrisy of televangelists. "Well the God I believe in isn't short on cash, mister." | |

| It's all about this guy named Joe who runs a cult that Bono and the other members of U2 joined for a little while up in Ireland. | |

| I read it was about mastubation. Kinda odd for a U2 song, but that's why it's a b-side | |
