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 Sunday, bloody Sunday Alright, let's go! 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 (tonight, tonight) Come get some! Wipe the tears from your eyes Wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your tears away Oh, wipe your bloodshot eyes (Sunday, bloody Sunday) (Sunday, bloody Sunday) (Sunday, bloody Sunday) Sunday, bloody Sunday (Sunday, bloody Sunday) Sunday, bloody Sunday Alright, let's go! 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 The real battle just begun (Sunday, bloody Sunday) To claim the victory Jesus won (Sunday, bloody Sunday) On Sunday, bloody Sunday Sunday, bloody Sunday

A faixa “Sunday Bloody Sunday” abre o álbum *War*, lançado em 1983, e foi lançada como a terceira single do disco nos Países Baixos e na Alemanha Ocidental em 21 de março de 1983.
A produção musical destaca-se por um ritmo de bateria militar, guitarras agressivas e harmonias melódicas, elementos que reforçam a mensagem política da letra.
A canção descreve a cena do “Bloody Sunday” de 1972 em Derry, quando 14 manifestantes de direitos civis foram mortos por tropas britânicas, servindo de crítica direta à violência sectária.
Em apresentações ao vivo, “Sunday Bloody Sunday” gerou controvérsia inicial, mas o vocalista Bono continuou a enfatizar a mensagem anti‑violência em diversos shows ao longo dos anos.
Em 2004, a música foi colocada em 268º lugar na lista “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” da Rolling Stone, refletindo seu reconhecimento crítico como um dos melhores hinos protesto da banda.
