No Picture trey Average	#1 by trey bond at Mar 28, 2005 at 11:50 AM EST
	The fly struck something in my head when I listen to it for the first time .... All achtung baby and zooropa tour is 'bout how crazy the world is ... (the "everything you know is wrong" sentence that appears in the video .... well for me is chilling .......). I think U2 got exactly what th 90's meant (and 21st century too) ..... Lots of information but no meaning at all (watch TV in Europe to notice it. don't know how is in the States)

	this song is at it's best when performed live! The Boston and Chicago versions were the best ever. The Boston version really lets the monster out of it and Bono just sings it perfect. The Chicago version sounds like it goes back to the ZooTV tour version of it where Edge sings the chorus in a falsetto. It just plain awsome!! Really shows U2's dark side.

No Picture Jake Average	#3 by Jake Innis at Sep 11, 2005 at 12:35 AM EST
	Its written as somebody talking on a pay-phone to somebody, hence the: Look, I gotta go, yeah I'm running outta change Plus, I read that somewhere. OMG......................if any of you haven't seen the version of it live on the Boston DVD....its so amazing, it gives me so much euphoria its..agh...no adjectives to describe.

	i love this song, its the reason I write music.

No Picture Karl Average	#5 by Karl Dear at Jul 19, 2006 at 9:24 PM EST
	In Bono's own words: "It's like a phone call from Hell -- but the guy liked it there."

No Picture Rodrigo Wanna Be	#6 by Rodrigo Pogo Punker at Jul 5, 2007 at 5:01 AM EST
	I read that bono said that this song sounds like 4 men chopping down a joshua tree

No Picture Average	#7 by KitCat at Aug 3, 2007 at 2:55 PM EST
	information overload. it set up their zootv run perfectly. a great ending and studio effects.

No Picture Dan Average	#8 by Dan Weyand at Oct 12, 2007 at 8:49 AM EST
	Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief All kill their inspiration and sing about their grie so true
