There's been a lot of talk about this next song
Maybe, maybe too much talk
This song is not a rebel song
This song is Sunday Bloody Sunday

Oh 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...
'cause tonight... we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children's feet
And bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
Puts my back up
My back up against the wall

Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Alright let's go

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

Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
Tonight... we can be as one / Night
Tonight... / Night
Tonight, tonight, tonight / Night, ah
Tonight

Yeah, give it up
Two, one
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away / Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Wipe your tears away / Sunday, Bloody Sunday

Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Sunday, Bloody Sunday / Sunday, Bloody Sunday
I'm so sick of it

Yeah, rev it up, two one

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction, TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle just begun / Sunday, Bloody Sunday
To claim the victory Jesus won / Sunday, Bloody Sunday
On...
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

There is only one flag, the white flag
