...it's Acrobat.
I didn't like it for a long time. Now I think it's a fine song, but it's so painful I can barely listen to it.
"Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy"
"I'd join the movement if there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine if there was a church I could receive in
Cause I need it now"
"To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
Can't let you go"
Back in my younger and more foolish days I didn't think Achtung Baby was a heavy album, content-wise. I thought heavy lyrics had to be something like SBS or Mothers of the Disappeared. That was probably before I ever had my heart broken (or whatever). Now I think Acrobat is a strong contender for U2's heaviest lyrics ever.
By the way, forgive the bizarre and not very good metaphor in the subject of this post.

The city walls are all pulled down
The dust a smokescreen all around
See faces ploughed like fields that once gave no resistance
