This albums 'Get on Your Boots', doesn't have the same development potential as The Miracle and California.
I think this track could've been on Boy or October... Bono's voice on the chorus sounds just so young
After listening to the album all the way through the first time, this was the song I was most excited to go back to. Early favorite by far.
I like this song until, oddly enough, the chorus. The "I don't believe" bits are great. Then he starts screeching "Raised by wolves!" and it sound so incredibly out of place and lyrically off-setting that it makes me wonder if Bono combined several lyrical ideas into one song.
Plus, given that wolves are animals of integrity, I'm not sure I agree with the analogy being used here, whatever it's supposed to mean.
So what had potential for being a solid album track, dropped to my second least favorite song on SoI.

Why hello Boy, it's been awhile.
When he bursts into "RAAAAISED BY WOLVES" I didn't know Bono still had that voice. Sounds straight out of 1980.
def one of my faves.
The chorus ruins this song for me...
The verses are amazing. The tension held in the line "I don't believe anymore" is very palpable, but then the campy transition into the chorus, and the generic chorus brings me right down.
Is it just me or does the chorus sound like duran duran,which is a good thing?
