The Cranberries - Zombie

It's an eerie feeling: having a nightmare about squadrons of low-flying aircraft, shots being fired, people running and screaming ~

In your head in your head
They are fighting ...

~ then coming awake only to realize that it wasn't a dream ...

The song 'Zombie' by The Cranberries calls forth long burried memories - alas it has been on my mind for a while and won't let go ...

 

Zombie
The Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And if violence causes the silence
Who are we mistaking

But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head in your head
They are fighting

With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are crying

[Chorus]
In your head
In your head
Zombie zombie zombie ei ei
What's in your head
In your head.
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do,do,do,do,do,do,do,do

Another mother's breaking heart is taking over the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head in your head
Their still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head in your head they are dying

[Chorus]
