Sunday Bloody Sunday
O.L.S. Lyrics

I can't believe the news today
The news I heard today is so terrible that I cannot comprehend it.

Oh I can't close my eyes and make it go away
I cannot ignore the sad news, as it is so disturbing that I wish I can unsee it.

How long how long must we sing this song
How many times do we need to repeat this same sad story?

Cause tonight we can be as one
Let us all come together as one and find peace tonight.

Broken bottles under childrens feet
The sight of children walking on broken bottles is an unfortunate reality of violence.

Bodies strewn on the deadened street
The street is filled with lifeless bodies scattered around.

But i wont heed the battle call
I will not enlist in the war, as there has been enough bloodshed already.

It puts my back up
The thought of fighting against others goes against my moral code and makes me uncomfortable.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
This violent day is forever etched in our memory.

And the battles just begun
The fight has just begun, and there are already too many casualties.

Theres many lost but tell me who has won
There have been many deaths, but who is the ultimate winner in this endless cycle of violence?

The trenches dugg within our hearts
The deep wounds of previous battles have scarred our hearts and made us wary of further conflict.

And mothers, children, brothers childres torn apart
The families of those who have lost their lives are left shattered and torn apart.

How long must we sing this song
How long do we have to keep repeating the same haunting verses of this tragic story?

Cause tonight we can be as one
Let us come together as one and put an end to this senseless violence tonight.

Wipe the tears off your eyes
Let me help you wipe away your tears and find comfort amidst the pain.

I'll wipe your tears away
I am here for you and will do everything in my power to help you through this difficult time.

And its true we are immune
Despite all the violence and conflict, we remain immune to the horror.

When fact is fiction and TV reality
The line between what is real and what is portrayed on TV is blurry and confusing.

And today the millions cry
Today, millions of people are crying out in pain, begging for peace and justice.

We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
While we enjoy our food and drink, others are facing the possibility of dying tomorrow in a war they did not choose.
