    The song describes the violence and loss of life during "Bloody Sunday" in Northern Ireland in 1972 when British paratroopers opened fire on civil rights protesters, killing 13 people. It questions how long the conflict must continue and expresses the hope that tonight "we can be as one" to end the divisions. The lyrics convey the horrors of war and sectarian violence through images of broken bottles, bodies in the streets, trenches between hearts, and mothers mourning sons torn apart on "Sunday, bloody Sunday."

    SUNDAY, BLOODY SUNDAY

    5 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 ? Tonight we can be as one Broken bottles under children's feet Bodies strewn across a 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 And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches dug between our hearts And mother's children, brothers, sisters torn apart Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday 20 How long, how long must we sing this song ? How long ? Tonight we can be as one Tonight, tonight 25 Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Wipe your bloodshot eyes Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday 35 And it's true we are immune When fact is fiction and T.V. is 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 a Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday U2, War, 1983
