Sunday Bloody Sunday
歌词：
Yes...
Mmmm....
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
'cause tonight...we can be as one
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
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
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...tonight
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
(Sunday, Bloody Sunday)
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
(Sunday Bloody Sunday)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (Sunday Bloody Sunday)
Sunday Bloody Sunday (Sunday Bloody Sunday)
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
(Sunday Bloody Sunday)
The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...
Sunday Bloody Sunday

1972年1月30日，在爱尔兰的德里(Derry)，伊万·库普准备领导一起大规模的游行示威活动，以抗议英国政府在北爱尔兰实行的不经过审判便可以拘留的政策。
英方陆军将军福特得知这一消息后，向媒体宣布这是一次非法的游行，表示将实行镇压。陆军准将麦克雷则开始筹备拘押一批“可疑分子”，采取军事行动，并派出由威福德上校率领的伞兵作为先锋部队。持温和立场的库普从一触即发的气氛中感到了忧虑，为了尽量避免暴力流血事件，通过努力他得到了IRA的保证：他们不会首先发动武力。
30日星期天，整座城市笼罩在紧张的空气中。在库普的组织下，游行队伍沿着事先确定的路线前进。一群年轻人咒骂军队，和士兵间爆发了冲突，他们冲破了军方的路障，游行顿时陷入混乱中。麦克雷下令士兵用水管、催泪弹和橡胶子弹来对付人群。不久刺耳的枪声响起，群众开始变得惊惶失措，库普奋力控制局面。更令人恐慌的是，军队竟然直接向手无寸铁的平民开枪，揭开了一场血腥的屠杀。
事后，福特将军和威福德上校在媒体面前声称只有3名平民丧生。但实际上，库普从医院得知有13人死亡，14人受伤。在民众的抗议下，英国政府只得对此事进行调查。然而每个接受盘问的士兵都一口咬定他们的射击目标是全副武装的，他们出于自卫而采取军事行动。于是调查结果宣布威福德上校的部队在德里遇到了IRA武装分子，而他们只是对武装者进行了还击。
据说，英国政府为了掩盖军方的残忍行径制造了假证据：一名叫杰拉德的青年在受伤后被迫接受军队的反复检查，实际上他身上根本没有炸弹枪支，他在送往医院的途中死亡，军方宣称在尸体口袋里找到了炸药。而政府和军队内部也有部分官员对这次事件提出了质疑。
在此后30年中，围绕这次流血事件产生了巨大的争议。游行者是否配备了武器，如果是，又究竟是哪一方首先开火？历史的真相似乎已被蒙上了层层面纱，无辜者的鲜血却是如此惊心。U2乐队为此写下了一曲沉痛的《Sunday,Bloody Sunday》。
