Sunday Bloody Sunday
Paramore · Other Songs - Paramore
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 streets
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
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
Oh, wipe your blood shot eyes
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
The real battle just begun to claim the victory Jesus won on
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Released by Paramore in 2009, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' stands as a defining track from their debut album, Brand New Eyes. The song blends the band's signature pop-punk energy with a darker, more introspective tone, reflecting the group's evolution from their early emo influences. Written by Hayley Williams and Jeremy McKinnon, the recording captures a specific moment in the band's development, showcasing their ability to merge melodic hooks with aggressive guitar work. It remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a key example of the mid-2000s pop-punk revival sound that characterized their early career before they transitioned into alternative rock and electronic experimentation in subsequent years.
