John Lennon - Sunday Bloody Sunday lyrics

rate me

Well it was Sunday bloody Sunday

When they shot the people there

The cries of thirteen martyrs

Filled the Free Derry air

Is there any one amongst you

Dare to blame it on the kids?

Not a soldier boy was bleeding

When they nailed the coffin lids!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

You claim to be majority

Well you know that it's a lie

You're really a minority

On this sweet emerald isle

When Stormont bans our marches

They've got a lot to learn

Internment is no answer

It's those mothers' turn to burn!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

You anglo pigs and scotties

Sent to colonize the North

You wave your bloody Union Jack

And you know what it's worth!

How dare you hold to ransom

A people proud and free

Keep Ireland for the Irish

Put the English back to sea!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

Well, it's always bloody Sunday

In the concentration camps

Keep Falls Road free forever

From the bloody English hands

Repatriate to Britain

All of you who call it home

Leave Ireland to the Irish

Not for London or for Rome!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!

Sunday bloody Sunday

Bloody Sunday's the day!
