1. Topic for track 4 of Songs Of Experience.

    Blessed are the bullies
    For one day they'll have to stand up to themselves
    Blessed are the liars
    For the truth can be awkward

    It's not a place
    This country is to me a sound
    Of drum and bass
    You close your eyes to look around

    Look around
    Look around
    Look around
    It's a sound
    Look around
    Look around
    It's a sound

    It's not a place
    This country is to me a thought
    That offers grace
    For every welcome that is sought

    You are rock and roll
    You and I are rock and roll
    You are rock and roll
    Came here looking for American Soul

    It's not a place
    This is a dream the whole world owns
    The pilgrims face
    It had your heart to call her home

    Hold on brother John
    Too many mothers weeping
    Dream on brother John
    But in your dreams you can’t be sleeping

    You are rock and roll
    You and I are rock and roll
    You are rock and roll
    Came here looking for American Soul

    American
    American

    Put your hands in the air
    Hold up the sky
    Could be too late but we still gotta try

    There's a moment in life where the soul can die
    In a person, in a country, when you believe the lie
    The lie the lie the lie
    There's a promise at the heart of every good dream
    It's a call to action not to fantasy
    The end of the dream, the start of what's real
    Let it be unity, let it be community
    For refugees like you and me
    A country to receive us
    Will you be my sanctuary
    Refu.. Jesus

    You are rock and roll
    You and I are rock and roll
    You are rock and roll
    Came here looking for American Soul

    You are rock and roll
    You and I are rock and roll
    You are rock and roll
    Came here looking for American Soul

    American Soul
    American Soul
  2. Some info:
    There's a letter to America called "American Soul," Kendrick Lamar used a bit of this for "XXX" on his new album.
  3. Very excited to hear this one, as I love "XXX" (and Kendrick's whole "DAMN." album).
  4. It's not a place
    This country is to me a sound of drum and bass
    You close your eyes to look around
  5. From Q Magazine

    Kendrick Lamar makes a cameo in the segue between Get Out Of Your Own Way and American Soul as what Bono calls a "cracked preacher".

  11. too much commercial they don't need to make such things , they have lost their rock spirit so far and too many things changed for fans in u2.com subscriptions
