	Interesting start with the drum rolls. The sax is becoming really annoying right now, it’s just too much. Yoko’s part is singing in the ‘choir’ of the chorus and it’s just alright as far as I’m concerned. Not much happening further on as a matter of fact. Oh, there’s the fade out and fade in again at 4.31. Yoko is acting like a lunatic in the last 30 seconds of the song.	Bobber	September 11, 2013
	Ever notice that John and Yoko don't actually sing together in the same song all that often? Here is perhaps their best co-op effort...as I stated in the Album comments, Yoko's rendering of the chorus is awesome and knocks this song over the goalposts (to borrow another Bloody Sunday cliche). John kicks butt as well with his performance...but we're all used to that by now.	Bruce Beatlefan	February 2, 2006

Lyrics

Well it was sunday bloody sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen marty martyrs
Filled the free derry air.
Is there any one among you
Dare to blame it on the kids?
Not a soldier boy was bleeding

When they nailed the coffin lidds!

Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!

You claim to be majority
Well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority
Oh this sweet emerald isle.
When Stormont bans our marchers

They've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer
It's those mother's turn to burn!

Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!

You anglo pigs and scotties
Sent to colonize the north
You wave your bloody
Union Jacks
And you know what it's worth!
How dare you hold on to ransom
A people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the irish
Put the english back to sea!

Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!

Yes it's always bloody sunday
In the concentration camps
Keep Falls and roads 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!

Sunday bloody sunday
Bloody sunday's the day!
