I must be an acrobat
\nto talk like this and act like that.<\/p>\n
Does that sound familiar? Ever felt that way before? Do you know what Bono is talking about in that song?
\n
\nU2
\nAchtung Baby (1991)
\nAcrobat<\/p>\n
Don’t believe what you hear
\nDon’t believe what you see
\nIf you just close your eyes
\nYou can feel the enemy<\/p>\n
When I first met you girl
\nYou had fire in your soul
\nWhat happened your face
\nOf melting in snow?
\nNow it looks like this!<\/p>\n
And you can swallow
\nOr you can spit
\nYou can throw it up
\nOr choke on it
\nAnd you can dream
\nSo dream out loud
\nYou know that your time is coming ’round
\n…don’t let the bastards grind you down<\/p>\n
No nothing makes sense
\nNothing seems to fit
\nI know you’d hit out
\nIf you only knew who to hit<\/p>\n
And I’d join the movement
\nIf there was one I could believe in
\nYeah I’d break bread and wine
\nIf there was a church I could receive in
\n‘Cos I need it now<\/p>\n
To take a cup
\nTo fill it up
\nTo drink it slow
\nI Can’t let you go<\/p>\n
And I must be
\nAn acrobat
\nTo talk like this
\nAnd act like that
\nAnd you can dream
\nSo dream out loud
\n…don’t let the bastards grind you down<\/p>\n
What are we doing to do now it’s all been said?
\nNo new ideas in the house, and every book has been read<\/p>\n
And I must be
\nAn acrobat
\nTo talk like this
\nAnd act like that
\nAnd you can dream
\nSo dream out loud
\nAnd you can find
\nYour own way out
\nYou can build
\nAnd I can will
\nAnd you can call
\nI can’t wait until
\nYou can stash
\nAnd you can seize
\nIn dreams begin
\nResponsibilities
\nAnd I can love
\nAnd I can love
\nI know that the tide is turning ’round
\n…don’t let the bastards grind you down<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
