Native Son Lyrics

Cover art for Native Son lyrics by U2

This sounds soo much like Vertigo that the first time i heard it i just thought it was a Vertigo remix. Its interesting though, I wounder why they decided to change write different lyrics for the Vertigo music. Vertigo is a good song but this song definately has more meaning to it. More expect of u2, which is probably why the would choose to use Vertigo to try and be different, or atleast somewhat different.

This song is imo about gun control, like they've decided they want bullet the blue sky to be about now, it kinda feels like a soft version of bullet the blue sky to me, which is probably why they canned it. If anyone wants to hear it it can be downloaded off of itunes under the complete u2.

Native Son got changed to Vertigo because the lyrics are about a politically controversial Native American doing hard time known as Leonard Peltier
