U2 - Ultraviolet Light My Way lyrics

I never thought I'd see the day

When church kids chose the hardcore way

And I expected quite a fight: punk rock vs the Christian right

So now I wonder what went wrong,

the hymnal has the perfect song

You picked a bible, and now you're gone

So if you're waiting for judgment day

Or if you're waiting to get paid

It's all the same, it's just two different ways to pray

That we don't need, don't want your fairy tales or greed

The scene is strong and we're still gone be here when you're gone

I never thought I'd see a time, when punk rock was the party line

Believe me it was quite a shock

When underground turned corporate rock

I'd never thought of selling out, money's not what this is about

Then we saw the bottom line

We said, "it's a deal! Where do we sign?"
