Bono

Paul David Hewson (born 10 May 1960), known by his stage name Bono (/ˈbɒnoʊ/ BON-oh), is an Irish singer, musician, and humanitarian best known for being the main vocalist of the Dublin-based rock band U2. Bono was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, and attended Mount Temple Comprehensive School where he met his future wife, Alison Stewart, and the future members of U2. Bono writes almost all U2 lyrics, often using political, social, and religious themes. During their early years, Bono's lyrics contributed to U2's rebellious and spiritual tone. As the band matured, his lyrics became inspired more by personal experiences shared with members of U2. more »

What we gon' do right now is go back, way back 
Bring in the groove 

I want to dedicate this to those who never made it 
>From kindergarten to the 12th I never graduated 
Yo but college wasn't for some of us 
So we joined the service 
I seen a kid get murdered in Nam listening to Elvis 
But on the out looking in 
Things stay the same 
But at the same vein 
Looking out the whole world's changed 
So keep your head up 
Don't get caught up in the fast bucks 
And find your mom crying while your lying in a black tux 
Trust me 

We don't need no education says a young man 
Sitting in class (sitting in class) 
School is out 3 o'clock on the dot 
He had beef with some kids and he got shot, oh Lord 

Turn on the television 
I'm watching Martin Luther King who had a dream, oh 
So take this dream and apply it to your life 
Even though we know the ghetto's rough 
But we got to 

1 - Keep your head up 
(Uh keep your head up) 
Cause a new day will come 
(Uh-huh, uh-huh) 
And look towards the sun 
(Look towards the sun) 
Even when the darkness shall come 

(Ooh) It's real son 
(Ooh) To my people living Life it's real son 

I turn the page 
What's the news today 
People getting fired, walking on a wire 
Looting on the streets cause the kid's gotta eat 
Oh, oh turn around and look at the hour glass 
I gotta get it straight 
Before it's too late 
Cause I don't want to be behind that gates 

Keep your head up 
(Uh keep your head up) 
Cause a new day will come 
(Uh-huh, uh-huh) 
And look towards the sun 
Even when the darkness shall come 

2 - All my people in the back 
Mama, mama 
You know you raised me with no father figure 
(Didn't ya) 
I want to take this time to thank you 
For giving me life, oh yeah 
Mama, mama 
You know you raised me with no father figure 
(Didn't ya) 
I want to take this time to thank you 
Even though I'm doing Life 
Alright 

(Ooh) It's real son, alright 
(Ooh) Can't flee 
(Ooh)All my people doing time 
(Ooh)People in the back playing cards 
(Ooh)Don't lose your money yeah 
Yeah tell them don't lose your money, c'mon, c'mon 

Repeat 1 

Repeat 2 

(Ooh) For my people doing time (alright) 
(Ooh) For my people doing time (alright)
