Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't believe the news today
Oh, 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 the dead-end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall
[Chorus]
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Alright, let's go
[Verse 3]
And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me, who has won?
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters, torn apart
[Chorus]
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
[Chorus]
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cause tonight
We can be as one tonight
[Chorus]
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Tonight, tonight (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Yeah, let's go
[Bridge]
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your tears away (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
[Chorus]
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
Yeah, let's go
[Verse 4]
And it's true, we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV, reality
And today the millions cry (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
We eat and drink while tomorrow, they die (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
To claim the victory, Jesus won on (Sunday, bloody Sunday)
[Chorus]
Sunday, bloody Sunday (Yeah-yeah)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
