Bono and Edge have shared a performance of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', complete with a new closing verse.
The acoustic performance captured at home in Dublin comes on the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, on 30th January 1972, when thirteen civil rights protesters were shot dead by British Army soldiers in Derry.
Scroll down to read the complete lyrics of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday (30th January 2022)'
'Sunday Bloody Sunday (30, January 2022)'
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? 'Cos tonight We can be as one, tonight, 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
And the battle's just begun There's many lost, but tell me who has won? The trenches 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? 'Cos tonight we can be as one, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight
Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe the tears from your eyes Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday Wipe the tears from your eyes
Here at the murder scene The virus of fiction, reality TV Why so many mothers cry Religion is the enemy of the Holy Spirit guide And the battle just begun Where is the victory Jesus won
I love the inclusion of the Virus that is tearing the world in two- not just the obvious Virus, but the Virus of the media shattering people into little drops of delusion. We must break through and claim the victory Jesus won.
