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

Ooh, oh oh! I can't ____________ the news today

I can't close my eyes and make it ____________

How long? How long must we sing this song? How long? How long?

Tonight, we can be as one. Tonight....

Broken ____________ under children's feet

And bodies ____________ across a dead end street

Well, I won't ____________ the battle call

Put my back up, my back up ____________ the wall

Sunday bloody Sunday, Sunday bloody Sunday. I'm so.....

And the battle's just ____________

There's many lost, tell me who has won?

The ____________ dug within our hearts

And mothers, children, brothers, sisters ____________ apart

Sunday bloody Sunday. Sunday bloody Sunday

How long? How long must we sing this song? How long? How long?

Tonight, we can be as one. Tonight, to die, tonight, to die.

Give it up...... wipe your tears away (x6)

Sunday bloody Sunday (x5)

I'm so ____________!

And it's true we are ____________

When fact is fiction, TV's ____________

And today the millions cry

We eat and drink ____________ tomorrow they die

And the real battle's ____________ begun

To claim the victory Jesus won
