U2- Sleep Like a Baby Tonight (Official-Unofficial) Music Video

“This track talks about the past problems and current crisis in the Catholic church, where crimes such as rampant child abuse are coming to light. The main character in the song is a member of the church who is either guilt-ridden from his own sins, yet trying to deflect and project the blame elsewhere just so he can sleep at night, or a member of the church who knows full well of the atrocities being committed by his organization, but because he himself has done nothing wrong, he can sleep like a baby. It begs the individuals in the Church to take responsibility for their faith, whether guilty directly, or through being complicit by inaction.“
