1. I need one lyrics explanation...

    What is Bono trying to say with "It's the blind leading the blond"

    (If God Will Send His Angels)
  2. I found two possible explanations on the internet, here you go:

    There's a common phrase "the blind leading the blind", to describe a hopeless situation. Now there's also a common stereotype that blondes are dumb. So basically he's just playing with the phrase a little.
    Bono on If God Will Send His Angels(Q Magazine, March 1997) :

    "It's this guy beating up his girlfriend about her searching for answers and just telling her to look around. It's like science fiction gospel. Edge is calling it country hip-hop."

    Taking that into consideration, to me the song has always been the sort of "ranting" of a guy berating his girlfriend for having faith and beliefs, because he's lost his faith. In that interpretation, the line in question is a play on words accusing the religious leaders she's following after as "the blind leading the blonde" with the girlfriend being the blonde.
  3. Haha country hip hop Edge is funny
