I remember someone saying once that when you put something in a song, you’re painting it on a wall in ten foot high red capital letters. Bono must get extremely tired of discussing that two seconds of music.

100%. I enjoy song analysis conversations, but dissecting lyrics gets a bit silly. It's a SONG. Almost every writer, when asked "why did you put that in there?", responds with "well, it rhymed first off." haha
Every time the latest thinkpiece on it gets to 'how could they make sweeping generalisations about all of Africa' I just want to scream that - The famine was in a country with a five-syllable name! It's not the easiest thing to make scan when you're writing back of a fag packet lyrics.
