« on: May 06, 2009, 01:48:10 PM »
I suspect Bono was being deadly serious when he wrote this. A few lines made me laugh out loud:

i think those are the lyrics from the song "Elvis Ate America" from the Passengers album.  they really don't read very well, do they?

i like U2, and i like Bono, but he is a dick! :)

If you didn't read "cheesestringz" response I will post it here!


Bono
Alot of fuss
Bono
Breeds disgust
Bono
The centre of the cosmos
Bono
I have to try and suppress
my unrest
the stress
caused when Bono molests.....................................my soul.

I Digress.

Back to

Bono
We're one
Bono
But......we're not the same

Take aim as i exclaim
"Bono!!
Return from whence you came!"
Bono
I'll take the blame
when Bono is maimed
or if Bono only ends up lame
If Bono still breathes
i have brought shame
upon my family name.

His name
again.......is not:
*Shane
*Dwayne
*Wayne
*Elaine
*"Be good and you will be lonesome." - Mark Twain
*Kayne
*Jane
*Andy Dufrene
*Lorraine

"Please refrain!! I wanna slit my jugular vein, leap out a plane or moving train i cant escape his $%&#ing name IT'S BONO!!!"

"In a strange twist of fate, Bono was struck and killed in a crosswalk today, when an obese Elvis impersonator was temporarily distracted changing the station when a U2 song came on the radio......"

Bloody hell, what a load of nonsensical, pretentious bollocks. It would be shite if anyone had written it - it's not good poetry at all - but the fact that it's Bono just makes it worse.  He really is such a w**ker, isn't he?
