Annotationen
Antikriegslied als Protest gegen die US-Intervention in San Salvador. Bono soll The Edge gesagt haben: «put El Salvador through an amplifier» und das ist ausgeziechnet gelungen: Der Song fängt die Kriegsangst und die Proteststimmung, die in den 80er-Jahren herrschte, hervorragend ein. Und man kann schon fast dazu tanzen.

Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly a red orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below [Chorus] Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue [Verse] In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher [Chorus] Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue [Spoken Verse] This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose in a thorn bush Like all the colors of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street You take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America, America Across the field you see the sky ripped open See the rain through a gaping wound Pounding on the women and children Who run Into the arms Of America
