South Africa Bloody South Africa

[TheDuck]

Yes...

I cant believe the news today
Oh, I cant 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 childrens feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I wont heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

South Africa, bloody South Africa
South Africa, bloody South Africa


And the battles just begun
Theres many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters killed for nought

South Africa, bloody South Africa
South Africa, bloody South Africa

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...

South Africa, bloody South Africa (tonight)
Tonight
South Africa, bloody South Africa(tonight)
(come get some!)

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
(South Africa, bloody South Africa)
I wipe your blood shot eyes
(South Africa, bloody South Africa)

South Africa, bloody South Africa
South Africa, bloody South Africa
(here I come!)

And its 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 yet begun (South Africa, bloody South Africa)
To claim the victory jesus won (South Africa, bloody South Africa)
On...

South Africa, bloody South Africa
South Africa, bloody South Africa

original song Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2
