well... i didn't ever used to think so but I'm sure that u2 played it that way on the vertigo tour (with the texts and imagery). you were there weren't you? I also think some of the lyrics lend themselves to that interpretation: "Did I ask too much? More than a lot. You gave me nothing, Now it's all I've got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other"

That is quite wince-inducing...
But how was 'One' ever an anti-poverty song?

"Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now it's all I've got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other"
