Sunday Bloody Sunday Lyrics

[Chorus: Yoko Ono]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day

[Verse 3: John Lennon]
Well, you Anglo pigs and Scotties
Sent to colonise the north
You wave your bloody Union Jacks
And you know what it's worth

How dare you hold to ransom
A people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the Irish
Put the English back to sea

[Chorus: Yoko Ono]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day

[Chorus: Yoko Ono]
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday's the day

[Verse 4: John Lennon]
Well, it's always Bloody Sunday
In the concentration camps
Keep Falls Road free forever
From the bloody English hands
Repatriate to Britain
All of you who call it home
Leave Ireland to the Irish

Not for London or for Rome

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
