The truth is we don't know and Sleep Over Jack could very well be right. I think 'Elevation' was ruled out, as Bono said that it was a seperate song from those that ended up on ATYCLB.
It could be just sitting on the shelf. Then again, they didn't put it out with Levitation and the rest of the ATYCLB leftovers on the digi box set.
Combined with this, the age of the song (hasn't seen the light of day in near a decade) and the fact that Larry said it was his favorite and yet it supposedly didn't even make HTDAAB (an album said to have a LACK of songs by the band in fall 2003)......
I've always just theorized that it combined with 'Love and Peace'* to become 'Love and Peace or Else'.
*-similar to how 'Tough' and 'Sometimes' became 'Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own' and 'Home' and 'whatever it was called' became Walk On.
For those not familiar, all of these songs, Tough, Sometimes, Home, Love and Peace, along with many others, Sun Moon and Stars was another, were written on the big white board during the ATYCLB sessions.
The way Bulldozer was described, I've always just thought that it sounded like the music from LAPOE. I don't know how Larry, considering how much sway he seemed to have over track selection (especially) on HTDAAB. I just don't know if it would sit there if it demanded to be heard as is. My guess is they compromised and Larry got part of the music in there on HTDAAB.
Just an idea.
