[Verse 1: The Edge]
Don't move
Don't talk out-a time
Don't think
Don't worry, everything's just fine
Just fine

Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Don't grieve without leave

Don't check, just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try and make sense

Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat

Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will

Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cower
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate

Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored

[Chorus: Bono]
I feel numb
I feel numb
Too much is not enough

[Verse 2: The Edge and Bono]
Don't change your brand
Gimme what you got
Don't listen to the band
Don't gape
Gimme what I don't get
Don't ape
Don't change your shape
Gimme some more
Have another grape
Too much is not enough
I feel numb

[Interlude: Bono]
Gimme some more
A piece of me, baby
I feel numb

[Verse 3: The Edge and Bono]
Don't plead
Don't bridle
Don't shackle
Don't grind
Gimme some more
Don't curve
Don't swerve
I feel numb
Lie, die, serve
Gimme some more
I feel numb
Don't theorize, realise, polarise
I feel numb
Chance, dance, dismiss, apologise
Gimme some more
Too much is not enough

Don't spy
Don't lie
Don't try
Imply
Detain
Explain
Start again
I feel numb
I feel numb

Don't triumph
Don't coax
Don't cling
Don't hoax
Don't freak
Peak
Don't leak
Don't speak
I feel numb
I feel numb

Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb
Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
Don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb

Don't struggle
Don't jerk
Don't collar
Don't work
Don't wish
Don't fish
Don't teach
Don't reach
Don't borrow
Too much is not enough
Don't break
I feel numb
Don't fence
Don't steal
Don't pass
Don't press
Don't try
Don't feel
Gimme some more

I feel numb
Don't touch
Don't dive
Don't suffer
Don't rhyme
Don't fantasize
Don't rise
Don't lie
I feel numb

Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
I feel numb
Don't expect
Suggest

Don't project
Don't connect
Protect
I feel numb
Don't expect
Suggest
I feel numb

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.
