Sunday Bloody Sunday
U2 protest song
Sunday Bloody Sunday is the title of a 1971 British film and, more famously, a 1983 U2 song protesting sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
The phrase references "Bloody Sunday" events—particularly the 1972 killing of unarmed civil rights protesters by British soldiers in Derry.
The song's urgent refrain has made the phrase synonymous with political outrage and the Troubles: How long must we sing this song?
