"Bullet the Blue Sky" is a song by Irish rock band U2, and is the fourth track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree. Lyrically, the song was inspired by a trip that lead vocalist Bono made to Nicaragua and El Salvador, where he saw firsthand how local peasants were affected by United States military intervention in the region. Angered by what he witnessed, Bono asked guitarist the Edge to "put El Salvador through an amplifier." "Bullet the Blue Sky" is one of the band's most overtly political songs, with live performances often being heavily critical of political conflicts and violence.

  • "Bullet the Blue Sky" – piosenka rockowej grupy U2, pochodząca z jej wydanego w 1987 roku albumu, The Joshua Tree. Jest jednym z najgłośniejszych i najbardziej agresywnych utworów w całym dorobku zespołu. The Edge, grając piosenkę, zawsze używa swojego czarnego Fendera Stratocastera (wyjątkiem były koncerty trasy PopMart Tour, gdzie grał na Gibsonie Les Paul). Dźwięk jest bardzo podobny do gitarowego solo, słyszanego w utworze "Echoes" Pink Floyd. Natomiast riff gitarowy został zapożyczony z innej piosenki zespołu, . (pl)
