Go to your nearest reliable book retailer and order "THOSE ARE REAL BULLETS, AREN'T THEY?" by Peter Pringle and Phillip Jacobson, Fourth Estate Publishers, 2001. Read it and then listen to this song, and all will be revealed!!

http://larkspirit.com/bloodysunday/ "On January 30, 1972, soldiers from the British Army's 1st Parachute Regiment opened fire on unarmed and peaceful civilian demonstrators in the Bogside, Derry, Ireland, near the Rossville flats, killing 13 and wounding a number of others. One wounded man later died from illness attributed to that shooting. " Its about that bloody sunday, as Bono has very strong political views, especially about Ireland. He was also the one who wrote the song, i do believe. Now shut your pieholes.
