Sunday Bloody Sunday
I can't believe the news today,
Oh, I can't close my eyes, to make it go away,
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
Tonight, we can be as one, tonight
Broken bottles under children's feet,
Bodies strewn across the dead end street,
But I won't heed the battle call,
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
And the battle's just begun,
There's many lost,
But tell me, who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts,
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
And it's true, we are immune,
When fact is fiction and TV reality,
And today the millions cry,
We eat and drink,
While tomorrow they die
Yeah, I wipe the tears from your eyes
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your bloodshot eyes
(Tonight, tonight)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(The real battle just begun)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(To claim the victory Jesus won on...)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
