[Verse 1]
Boy, stupid boy
Don't sit at the table
Until you're able to

Toy, broken toy
Shout, shout, you're inside out

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co

Red, running red
Play for real
Talk and feel
A hole in your head
You won't shout
You're spoon fed

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric CoIf you don't know
Electric Co

[Verse 2]
Two, three, four
I can't stop
Useless is the castle wall
Useless is the metal wall
He's gonna jump

[Chorus]
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co
If you don't know
Electric Co

[Outro]
Till someone leaves him below
He's searched high and low
A tap on the wrist and he'd know
Somebody hear him
Just leave him
I can't find my way home
I'm alone
I've lost my way home
You know and you know
And you know and you know
And you know

U2

U2 is an Irish rock band from Dublin, which started in post-punk but soon incorporated elements from various musical genres (funk, electronica, blues). Composed of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr (drums and percussion), the band is noted for a sound built on melodic instrumentals, and lyrics, filled with spiritual imagery, personal themes and sociopolitical concerns. U2 sold more than 150 million records worldwide, and created some of the most lavish, memorable and profitable concert tours in history. Their success also helped the bandmembers advocate for human rights and philanthropic causes.
