Another political and anti-violence song by U2, "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" (1983). This song visits the 1972 'Bloody Sunday' incident that took place in Northern Ireland where 26 unarmed civil rights protesters were shot. Thirteen of them killed immediately.
I really love the line "How long, how long must we sing this song?" Countless civil rights movements and actions have take place and yet there are many people who are still fighting for basic civil rights-- how long must we sing the song of equality and peace.
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
