These are the best U2 lyrics they could find?

What about

'it's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
it's no secret that ambition bites the nails of success
every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief
all kill their inspiration and sing about their grief'

or

'you hurt yourself
your hurt you lover
then you discover
what you thought was freedom is just greed'

or

'and it's true we are immune
when fact is fiction and tv a reality
and today the millions cry
we eat and drink while tomorrow they die'

or

'Sweet the sin, bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You gotta cry without weeping, talk without speaking
Scream without raising your voice'

or

'You say you'll give me a highway with no-one on it
Treasure, just to look upon it
All the riches in the night
You say you'll give me eyes in the moon of blindness
A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest.
All the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave
When all I want is you'

or

'I'll see you again
when the stars fall from the sky
and the moon has turned red
over one tree hill'

or

'Intransigence in all around
Military's still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle.
God is good but will he listen?
I'm nearly great but there's something missing.
I left it in the duty free,
Oh, though you never really belonged to me'

The line they picked from 'One' isn't even the best in that song...

'you ask me to enter
but then you make me crawl
and I can't be holding on
to what you got
when all you got is hurt'

 

[JCOSTER]
