Lyrics Don't Matter // U2 Uses a Random Word Generator and I Like It

A few days ago, I was hitting the 'next song' button on my iPod. (This is the new version of the fm radio's seek button.) I happened upon one of U2's tracks from their most recent effort. I haven't really listened to the album since I first got it.

I think that they used a random word generator to give the song words.

U2: Unknown Caller

Sunshine, sunshine
Sunshine, sunshine

Oh, ohhh
Oh, ohhh

I was lost between the midnight and the dawning
In a place of no consequence or company
Sweet 33 when the numbers fell off the clock face
Speed dialling with no signal at all

Go, shout it out, rise up
Oh, ohhh
Escape yourself, and gravity
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, ohhh
Force quit and move to trash

I was right there at the top of the bottom
On the edge of the known universe where I wanted to be
I had driven to the scene of the accident
And I sat there waiting for me

Restart and reboot yourself
You’re free to go
Oh, ohhh
Shout for joy if you get the chance
Password, you, enter here, right now

Oh, ohhh
You know your name so punch it in
Hear me, cease to speak that I may speak
Shush now
Oh, ohhh
Then don’t move or say a thing

Right. What?

But I enjoyed the song. As long as there are words I could understand, I guess I'm satisfied without actually gaining anything intelligible from them. Lyrics don't matter.
