Though you might look at it somewhat either way...ie, Bono's rich and out of touch, or he's doing good where he is...I think, like Montrose, that he is doing good where he is. Who else is in the unique position that Bono is in to influence people of political power? We've all heard it said that politicians listen to him. He serves in his own way. Not everyone is called to the field. Some are called to the business room.
He is doing a heck of a lot better than sitting around all day on his arse, smoking dope, hanging out with groupies, I think.

I think he has hit on some truth in this song. Christians are called to do good to the poor, this is part of letting "the light" shine. Doing good to Africa would be a tremendous way to let the light of the gospel shine. And there actually are some Christian groups doing it. Perhaps this song is a call for more to come on board and reach out. To stop thinking about ME all the time.

Why is it sometimes songs of scathing rebuke sound so good musically?
