Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away

[Chorus]
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?
Cause tonight, we can be as one tonight

[Verse 2]
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across a dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall

[Refrain]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 3]
And the battles just begun
This many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trench is dug within our hearts
Mothers, children, brothers, sisters, torn apart

[Refrain]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

[Chorus]
How long? How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long?

[Verse 4]
Cause tonight, we can be as one tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

[Refrain]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

[Bridge]
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away, uh
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away

[Verse 5]
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
And the real battles just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won

[Refrain]
Sunday bloody Sunday
Sunday bloody Sunday

14 people died as a result of the attack which came to be known as “Bloody Sunday”
