Shoot the blue sky !?!

I've never understood why Bono used Bullet as a verb in "Bullet the blue sky"...

Ps: I hope this is the right forum for this kind of question...

this thread could also go in "It's a musical journey" which is a forum especially to discuss lyrics etc

so, if no one answers it in here I'll move it to that forum

Thanks for solving a longtime mystery for me! I always thought he used "bullet" as a noun as opposed to the blue sky - to further create the atmosphere of the song, and to emphasize what the song was about.

I had no idea it was a verb.

I'd never even thought about that before...that's interesting...

I thought that it meant bullet the wonderful, innocent things in life like they were doing in El Salvador.......a completely stupid order to do, but the stronger survives........

My stupid thought on the song....
