  A powerful U2 lyric about the death of MLK. Bono got the time of day wrong, so he changes it now live from time to time with “Early evening”.

  "Early morning, April four
  A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
  Free at last, they took your life
  But they could not take your Pride."

  Have a nice day.

  Those lyrics also work well substituting "Lexington sky" for "Memphis sky" and changing "April four" to "April nineteen."

  April 4 was the correct day.

  He's referring to Battle of Lexington in 1775.

  "Early morning, April four

  It was 6:01pm.

  They get an F in U.S. history.

  Somehow I suspect Bono didn't get a class in U.S. History over there.
