    I always thought U2 later buried the song because of the lyric "I believe in the Third World War, I believe in the atomic bomb". Even at the time I thought it was a weird thing to say. Great song regardless, one of their best.

      If they didn't like the song, why record it in the first place? It's actually their best single for me and a real shame it isn't on the October album.
      Raw, energetic and post-punky, almost sounds like it could come from early The Southern Death Cult (similar to the awesome "Go West"). I really wish the band had an entire album with this specific sound.
