U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. more »

Some folks are born made to wave the flag 
Yeah, the red, white, and blue 
When the band plays 'Hail To The Chief'

I'm no millionaire's son 
It ain't me, it ain't me 
I ain't no fortunate one 

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand 
Well, they help themselves, yeah 
When the tax man comes to the door

I ain't no millionaire's son 
It ain't me, it ain't me 
I ain't no fortunate one, no 

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes 
Yeah, when they send you down to war 
Well, when you ask them how much you should give 
Yeah, it's always more, more, more
