It was as a musical set piece, however that The Electric Co. exploded with the power of its concealed intent. “The Electric Co.” burned with anger at the injustice of it all -beginning with the reality of mental disturbance and insanity itself, but more particularly raging against the hubris of doctor who took on themselves the power to mess with people’s brains.
“Electric Co was about anger” Bono said. “This idea that rock’n'roll is a kind of revenge – on society, and on the people you perceive as having done you down – is really true. Essentially it was an angry, cathartic experience every time we performed it.” Bono says.

Boy, stupid boy
Don’t sit at the table
Until you’re able to
Toy, broken toy
Shout shout
You’re inside out
If you don’t know…Electric co.
If you don’t know…Electric co.
Red, running red
Play for real
The toy could feel
A hole in your head
You go in shock
You’re spoon-fed
If you don’t know…Electric co.
If you don’t know…Electric co.
One two three four…
[vague words]
If you don’t know…Electric co.
[Repeat 6 times]
(more vague words)
Just to hear me
(more vague words)
I’ve found me way home
