Sunday Bloody Sunday -- U2

I can't believe the news today  I can't close my eyes and make it go away!
How long?  How long must we sing this song? How long  How long?
'Cause tonight...we can be as one  Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet  Bodies strewn across the dead-end streets
But I won't heed the battle call  It puts my back up, puts back up against the wall!
Sunday, Bloody Sunday  Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday   All right lets go!

And the battles just begun  Theres 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?
'Cause tonight...we can be as one  Tonight  Tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Tonight  Tonight (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)  Tonight  Come get some!
Wipe the tears from your eyes  Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away   I wipe your tears away (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
I wipe your blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday)

Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday  Here I come!
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!
The real battle yet began  To claim the victory Jesus won 
Sunday, Bloody Sunday                                                              (sing365)

There are two Bloody Sundays in Irish history. The first was in 1920 when British troops fired into the crowd at a football match in Dublin in retaliation for the killing of British undercover agents. The second was on January 30, 1972, when British paratroopers killed 13 Irish citizens at a civil rights protest in Derry, Northern Ireland. The song is more about the second Bloody Sunday.                                                                     (songfacts)
