Sunday Bloody Sunday (U2 cover) Lyrics
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?
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
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody Sunday
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?
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, yeah
I wipe the tears from your eyes
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your bloodshot eyes
(Tonight, tonight)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(The real battle just begun)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(To claim the victory Jesus won on...)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
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?
Tonight, we can be as one tonight
And 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
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
How long, how long?
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die, yeah
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your tears away
(Tonight, tonight)
I wipe your bloodshot eyes
(Tonight, tonight)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(The real battle just begun)
Sunday, bloody Sunday
(To claim the victory Jesus won on...)
Sunday, bloody Sunday

I love this song. Never heard the original but its inspired me to get to hear it
aye this songs makes me cry so much cuz my friend died on a sunday -he was murdered(jan 6 2007)
i miss him
they did a great cover of this ^^
where can i listen to//d.l this song?
someone had recorded it and played it at the Paramore LJ community, that's where I heard it
not sure where she got it =T I'm sure we'll hear something about it soon, though
ooh apparently it's on a vinyl copy of the single for Misery Business..I unno, I don't read much about the CDs for singles X)
Ah, this is a U2 song, therefore making this a cover.
Ah, I love U2.
Only the Irish understand the concept of suffering? What?
sigh Anyway, even though Paramore is one of my favorite bands I was skeptical of them covering this song well (because, c'mon, U2 in their old days were AH-MAY-ZING) but I think I love it. Damn Hayley and her prettiful voice.
once again paramore has ruined a legendary rock song...why do bands keep letting this happen
Amen to that!
Amen to that!
Bands are there to create and reinvent music, and to give meaning to the human experience. I didn't like their cover that much, but they definitely added a new twist to something that's already pretty effing sweet. If someone out there enjoys this version, you can hardly consider the song ruined. You never had to listen to the cover in the first place.

yosareann, your boyfriend is right =]
I haven't heard this cover. But I have to say, this is one song that really didn't need to be re-done.
