Zombie (Live Acoustic) Lyrics
The Cranberries
Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence cause of silence
Who are we mistaken?
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
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, do, do, dou, do, do, dou, do, do
Dou, do, do, dou, dou, do, do, dou
Another mother's breakin'
Heart is taking over
When the violence 'causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs and their guns
In your head, in your head they are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
Hey, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, yaa, yaa
