Yeah... there's a certain thematic similarity there...

Was it the live version of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" from the Rattle and Hum movie? That would have been appropriate, since it has a section where Bono stops singing and gives a little speech while the band vamps behind him, to the effect of,

"I'm sick and tired of people coming up to me and telling me about the glory of the Revolution, an' the glory of dyin' for the Revolution, an' the glory of killin' for the Revolution. Fuck the Revolution!"
