Here’s another from Rob:
Finding the Truth in Strange Places
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 street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall…
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
How long…
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long…
’cause tonight…we can be as one
Tonight…tonight…
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
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
I removed the repetitive title lines. Still sound familiar? Well, you’d never hear it if you were a fundamentalist Baptist, because the song is Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2. Who would have thought that “devil music” could hold so much truth?
He’s not saying ‘bloody’ in the context of the slang word, it’s literally BLOODY. It’s about a massacre that occured in Northern Ireland. Zombie by the Cranberries is about the same thing.
