The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 17

"There's an insect
In your ear
If you scratch
It won't disappear"

--U2's 'Staring at the Sun'

It's sure hard to tell that U2 scrambled to finish their 'Pop' album. At least Bono didn't mention "driving rain."

Boner the Mother Teresa of Rock. This self absorbed
yahoo moved out of Ireland to avoid payiing taxes to
the goverment. And lose the dorky sunglasses.

U2 are one of the greatest bands ever!I've seen them MANY TIMES, and they stir my heart at a show-only like one other band- E Street Band. Bono has a way of grabbing to the audience and pulling you in. See a show live before you speak He is still the coolest guy ever.
You don't have to agree with his politics.

This is the one tolerable song on U2 pop. Not only that, the line makes sense in context. You really can't find worse lyrics?

That was an interesting comment quackbot, about Bono suffering from tinnitus. I get ringing in my ears sometimes but i can't imagine how frustrating it is to have a constant buzzing in your ears.

Seriously, THIS was the worst U2 lyric you could come up with?

How about "Uno, dos, tres, catorce"?
