Seanchai - Bloody Sunday lyrics

rate me

Right from the start this here's a rebel song <br />

It's from the heart I wanna tell you 'bout a wrong<br />

Committed by Britain back in the day <br />

Fourteen murdered, they refused to be slaves <br />

To the crown<br />

In Derry Town<br />

They wouldn't bow down <br />

So they were shot down <br />

A peaceful protest the turnout was large <br />

So the soldiers decided to show who was in charge<br />

Vexed so they flexed, did what papas can do best<br />

When the smoke had cleared fourteen were laid to rest<br />

No riots, no lootin' to start off the shootin'<br />

People emulated King not Seal or Newton<br />

Things forever changed after that afternoon<br />

Brothers started doin' what they had to do<br />

On Bloody Sunday<br />

<br />

[chorus]<br />

Sunday Bloody Sunday - still haunted by the cries <br />

Sunday Bloody Sunday - twenty five years of lies<br />

<br />

How long must we sing this song<br />

Till the government finally admits that they were wrong <br />

<br />

And finally show some decency<br />

Reparation to each family <br />

Treat our people with some dignity<br />

You know their shit really gets to me<br />

The way they try to deny my history<br />

Twenty five years on our people gettin' strong <br />

Thought may hit the Brits it's time to move on<br />

Order the border to be cast out to sea<br />

Coz that is where it was meant to be<br />

And that would be an appropriate way <br />

To honour those who were slain<br />

On Bloody Sunday
