This song rewards with repeated listens. It really is a deep, powerful song. The way Bono delivers this line: "I did not take his life"...so bloody awesome! I could've seen that being a shout-out line during performances. And the chorus, the words just cut through you. "Officer Put Down The Gun". I think the way words sound are just as important as what they mean. "Both of us want to be someone"...i think that's a eally devastating line, to me anyway. It's like that movie "Heat." He's empathizing with both the good and bad guy. And realizing they're not much different and probably don't hate eachother, but they must conform to the roles society handed them. This is a great song that shouldn't have gotten shelved. It didn't have to be a single, I would've kept it for somewhere in the middle of the album, maybe one of the last tracks. Thought-provoking, adrenaline-rushing, and everything to me that Vertigo is not.
