Monday morning
Eighteen years dawning
I said how long
Say how long

It was one dull morning
I woke the world with bawling
I was so sad
They were so glad

[Chorus]
I had the feeling it was out of control
I was of the opinion it was out of control

Boys and girls to school
And girls they make children
Not like this one

[Chorus]
I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

I fought fate
There's blood at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood

One day I'll die
The choice will not be mine
Will it be too late?
You can't fight fate

[Chorus]
I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had the opinion it was out of control

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.
