Switchfoot – Gone Lyrics 9 years ago
@[downfromabove:13625] The reference to Bono is about the lyric dealing with God not being short on cash. U2 played "Bullet in the Blue Sky" on "Rattle and Hum" and Bono says "My God is not short on cash." at the end. This is a different version than on the Joshua Tree. The following lyrics are added:

So I'm back in my hotel room
With John Coltrane and A Love Supreme
In the next room I hear some woman scream out
That her lover's turning off, turning on the television
And I can't tell the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues
And a preacher on the old time gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister!

I feel a long way from the hills of San Salvador
Where the sky is ripped open
And the rain pours through a gaping wound
Pelting the women and children
Pelting the women and children
Who run - who run into the arms of America
