I can't believe the news today
Oh, 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 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 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, Bloody Sunday How long... How long must we sing this song? How long? How long... 'cause tonight...we can be as one Tonight...tonight... Sunday, Bloody Sunday Sunday, Bloody Sunday 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 blood shot eyes (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) Sunday, Bloody Sunday (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) 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 (Sunday, Bloody Sunday) The real battle just begun To claim the victory Jesus won On... Sunday Bloody Sunday Sunday Bloody Sunday... Written & Produced by U2 Submitted by Cybear 11/19/07 President Bush=Good Riddance |

Actually it's Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday (Irish: Domhnach na Fola) is the term used to describe an incident in Derry, Northern Ireland, on 30 January 1972 in which 26 civil rights protesters were shot by members of the 1st Battalion of the British Parachute Regiment led by Lieutenant-Colonel Derek Wilford and his second-in-command Captain (later General) Mike Jackson, who had joint responsibility for the operation, during a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city. Thirteen people, six of whom were minors, died immediately, while the death of another person 4½ months later has been attributed to the injuries he received on the day. Two protesters were injured when run down by army vehicles.Many witnesses including bystanders and journalists testify that all those shot were unarmed. Five of those wounded were shot in the back. |

I'm pleased 2 meet ya Mr.T.Welcome 2 JSH,& I hope your enjoying the site also.I stand corrected on the song title itself.Darn U;;Lyrics.com(lmao)Thx 4 the input also.I'm aware of the incident that took place.Very sad indeed,but if U noticed I made ref.to our current Pres.Bush:( I was hoping to portray a wider msg.or broader perspective if U will.
Conveying the horrible effects & aftermath of war in general & loss of life thereof.I especially like the ref."When fact is fiction and TV reality".Hmmmm!it certainly makes 1 ponder hey,concerning the mass media B.S.that the gen.public is feed via their eve.news.I feel this particular song conveys a very strong mess.& a superb ref.Godspeed!Cybear |
