U2's,
"Pride (In The Name Of Love)"
But they could not take your pie.
But they could not take your pride.
U2's,
"Pride (In The Name Of Love)"
Early morn, April fall
Shudderings, eye in the menthol sky
Free at last, yeah, look for your life
Yeah, couldn't I take your pride?
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
U2's,

Every morning, April fool.
Sufferings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last.
Hey, I told you a lie.
Hey! Couldn't I take your pride?
Early morning, April 4:
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last!
They took your life;
they could not take your pride!
I was amazed at Bono's genius when I finally LISTENED to the song. (The lyric is a respectful reference to the legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I didn't know this until recent years.)
