SHUT UP AND ROCK
Don't want to hear about your politicshear about it every day
Or all the talk about what makes you tickdon't care anyway
It ain't about your body or your face.
Baby, they're WAY ok!
Just shut up and rock
Oh, shut up and rock
PLEASE, shut up and rock
Why can't you just shut up and rock
Don't want to hear about your yoga class, or how you spent your day
Don't want to hear about your painful past. I don't care anyway.
It ain't about your lips or your perfect hips.
Baby, THEY'RE a-ok
Just shut up and rock
Oh, shut up and rock
PLEASE, shut up and rock
Why can't you just shut up and rock
Your opinion of the universe or the color of your knock-off Gucci purse
I honestly can't tell you which is worse. That shouldn't come as a shock.
So shut up and rock
Why can't you just shut up and rock
Youyouyou.really ought to just.
SHUT UP AND ROCK!!!

Originally posted by MiamiMyMammy:Larry isn’t sending Bono veiled messages through the music of Alice Cooper. He didn’t write the lyrics to that song. What’s he going to do? He agrees to play drums on the album, but when he sees the lyrics he says, “I can’t play to this because you seem to be casting shade on Bono and maybe even U2”? How puerile and awkward would that be? I don’t read anything into it.

Yes he is those lyrics accurately describe Bono and the way he is generally perceived just shut up about politics and Rock is what a lot of people want from him,why go off and play drums for another band it's not something he normally does and session musicians usually do those sort of things, It's not beyond possibilities that he or Adam are getting bored with been in U2 the gaps between albums Edge over ruling everyone else on how the band should sound the use of multiple producers who tamper with the sound so much that the original ideas and mixes get lost and buried but who knows what's going on behind the scenes it may have just become an open marriage where nobody is tied down.
