U2 - Bloody Sunday lyrics

rate me

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?

'Cos 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

Oh, let's go

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?

'Cos tonight

We can be as one, tonight

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes

Wipe your tears away, I'll wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your tears away

I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday

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 just begun

To claim the victory Jesus won on

Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday
