‘Zombie’ is a song by the Irish band The Cranberries, written about the conflict in Northern Ireland, specifically about the 1993 Warrington bombing and its impact on the victims and their families. The bombing killed two children and injured 56 others. The lyrics discuss the violence and sense of loss, reflecting the disturbance and pain caused by such events.
Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken And the violence caused such 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 What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
Another mother's breaking 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're dying
In your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie What's in your head, in your head, zombie, zombie, zombie
