Lyrics:

GET ON YOUR BOOTS

The future needs a big kiss
Winds blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?

Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he wont scare you

Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah

You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts arent real

Heres where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real

You dont know how beautiful
You dont know how beautiful you are
You dont know, and you dont get it, do you?
You dont know how beautiful you are

Thats someones stuff theyre blowing up
Were into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations

I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I dont want to talk about wars between nations

Not right now

Hey sexy boots...
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots

You dont know how beautiful
You dont know how beautiful you are
You dont know, and you dont get it, do you?
You dont know how beautiful you are

Hey sexy boots
I dont want to talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, now
God, Im going down
I dont wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound

Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey

Edge has said that the album really isn't an album, its a track of 11 different songs. He said just the other day it probably is their best work ever. Each song is going to have a very different feel to it, it's going to be really exciting!

At first, I really disliked this song. I decided to give it a chance though because I thought it might have been a grower. I think I was right. I actually kind of like this song now and am excited for the new album.

[FierceEcho]

The album sounds amazing!! my top favorites are Unknown Caller, Magnificent, Moment of Surrender, Fez, NLOTH and Breathe. It is really an interesting album!

[seg64866]

Where did you get the album early??

[FierceEcho]

I am a subscriber to U2 and they have released the entire album online for us to listen to! I've listened to it like 20 times now! You will not be disappointed! Fez, Unknown Caller, Magnificent, Breathe and Moment of Surrender, will be automatic favorites for you, I guarantee it! Boots sound nothing like the other songs, not even close, not that this is a bad song, its just not epic material.

U2 are the greatest band today..this is a great song, it shows their variety i their musical styles.

[Masterdrx]

I think this is a good song . . . of course from U2 you would expect always the best . . . and it's not easy to create something really new in rock music . . . but this song is full of energy entering in your mind the first time you hear it . . . I think this is why they chose it as first single . . . and I'm sure that in this album there are other songs a bit less commercial and not so immediate but more beautiful

[rockstopsthetraffic]

Ha, I stayed up until 3:30 am to hear this... Fecking timezones...

[U21310]

How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb's their best! :D

[RDM714]

People don't get the metaphors. This is a great song. I mean a song by the 22 grammy award winning, an icon to the music business.... let's admit it, U2 are legends in the music industry. Even if they go away, they would always be remembered. A band with a conscience and social awareness. Wow. Only a few bands have the glory that they hold. They're in the history books. Get On Your Boots, great song.

[bloodystump3]

Amen brother.
