"Where the Streets Have No Name"
Song Description
Bono wrote the lyrics in response to the idea that often you could tell a person’s place in life, including religion and income based on the street on which they lived. At one point during recording Brian Eno considered erasing the song as it was causing the band difficulty in studio.
