Worst of all is the stupid line,
"So tonight thank God it's them instead of you"


Apparently there was much debate over that line at the time of the original recording. It was given to Bono from U2 to sing and he was unhappy about it and wanted to alter it. Geldorf explained that he was expressing the sentiment as a father looking at his own children and thanking God for their good fortune. It makes everyone uncomfortable because it's an honest reaction to tragedy or disaster, something we all instinctively feel and then suffer guilt for feeling it.
I think it's a really clever line.

C-flat.
