| This song is about the Irish immigrating to America people! Have you seen the video? It's full of immigrant images and the disilliusionment of discovering that once in America, the streets really were not paved with gold, as was rumored. My family immigrated from Ireland 4 generations ago, and we have an old old article from the 1800 from a newspaper in Illinois that interviewed one of my Great Great Grandmothers, and she discussed that very thing...coming from Galway Ireland she and her husband thought the streets of New York would be paved with gold, they soon discovered the truth and headed out of NYC to the midwest. Pretty cool! I am so proud to Irish/American and a proud U2 fan. I LOVE THIS BAND, I cannot say how much they have touched my life spirititually with their incredible music and hearts! | |

| I always thought that when he said "Sleep comes like a drug In God's country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's country" he was talking about Israel and the fighting going on there | |
