If I remember correctly, this wasn't U2 - it was a side project that Larry and Adam did - it was for A Clockwork Orange (maybe a stage presentation of it?)
Anyway, Alex is the main character from Clockwork, and this was a piece of music from the part of the story where he goes to the Milk Bar. (For those not familiar with the book, Alex is a teenage delinquent living in a future dystopian society; he and the other teens have adopted a particular slang that uses Anglicanized/bastardized versions of Russian words, thus the use of "korova." The milk bars are simply bars that serve milk spiked with drugs.)
If you have not read this book, do yourself a favor and pick it up immediately!
