Child is slowly taken And the violence causes 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 fightin’! With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head They are cryin! 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,oh dou, dou, dou,dou dou... Another mother’s breaking Heart is taken 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 fightin’! With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head! They are dyin’! 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, ya, ya-a!

V2 | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/24/09 To correct reviewer "XXXX" and "...", The Easter Rising in 1916 marked the beginning of the rebellion of the irish 'republic', then under the control of Great Britain, as the proclamation of the republic was read by Padraig Pearse outside the GPO. Although the Rising was largely unsuccessful, it eventually led to the Irish war of Independence, which we won to some extent. Now, did you know that the republic consisted of southern ireland, while northern ireland remained under the control of the British government? Yes, well that is quite important. 'The Troubles' you refer to is the fighting in Northern Ireland, because you see, the IRA (heard of them before?) wanted northern ireland under the control of the republic, and on the other hand the UVF wanted NI to remain british. It was the republicans vs the loyalists and their war only destroyed the people in nothern Ireland. Refer to the wikipedia if you want to know a bit better: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Rising, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles Now that you know that much: the time of this song's release (1994) was at the height of the troubles in Ireland. What this song is saying is that "since 1916" people have fought and fought with the same mindset that they must fight, but all they have caused is hurt for irish people. Dolores is shouting out against the people causing the violence; what's in their heads? WHy are they doing this? "Who are we mistaken?" refers to the people who believe that Northern Ireland should be brought under the control of the Republic by any means necessary. (Believe me there are a lot of them). But they don't know the extent of the damage they are causing, they are mindless 'zombies', they don't care about the hurt they are causing... At least now with the Peace process things are finally looking up, and it is funny that people consider the recession the end of the world when only a few years ago Ireland was in a much much worse state... Songs like this not only gave hope to people at the time, they also force us to remember where we came from. To think that it effects people in other countries shows how similar we all are. Violence really does unite... what's in your head? :: in your head :: zombie :: zombie :: zombie :: hey, hey | Reviewer: Ceej | 5/30/08 Quite a chilling song, really. But that just shows how great a song Zombie truly is. It's one of those songs that really makes you stop and really think about the world... and that's basically the mission of a protest song. The music video also suits the song really well... some of the footage is actually quite hard to watch. Great song, great music video, great band. A Zombie? - No Name reviewer (correction Reviewer: ... | 11/2/2007") | Reviewer: fair whitness | 5/23/08 This reviewer is exactly what the Cranberries were writing about - someone so stuck in the past that they want to cling on to an excuse for terrorists killing innocent children then cynically manipulating the parents to support them in the name of a "cause". As the lyrics say - "its the same old theme since 1916" The Zombies were very brave to write this song as anyone that stood up to the terrorists was a target. So No Name reviewer, here are the facts: "Zombie" was recorded at the Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin in 1994. It was written during the Cranberries' English Tour in 1993, in memory of two boys, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington, Cheshire (North-West England) on 20 March 1993. So please No Name, let the hatred go, let it go. cassie | Reviewer: ally | 4/15/08 did you guys know that cassie bernall, the girl who said yes to the guys at the columbine school shooting when they asked her if she believed in GOD and then they killed her, was said that she listened to the Cranberries?she was such a strong girl, i am sure GOD and JESUS are proud of her and she is in Heaven with them. JESUS loves you all and so do i The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. (Psalm 145:18-19) very cool | Reviewer: jsw | 2/2/08 I actually like Miser's cover of this song just as well. It's not better, but it's just as good. That might just be me though. I like the harder rock sound of Miser singing this song. The Cranberries are awesome though and so is this song. I can't stop listening to it. zombie | Reviewer: aziz | 1/14/08 the song is really touches my heart... one wish which l haven't got yet.. seeing the band of irishthe cranberries.. u mind seein; me in the short month yhis year????/ AMAZING! | Reviewer: Aleks | 12/29/07 I first saw the video for this song on TV just recently...I must say I fell in love with it and am glad to find out who it's by.

All in all, great song really love it correction | Reviewer: ... | 11/2/07 reviewer XXX is mostly right, it is an Irish protest song, but I believe that rather then being about troubles in Northern Ireland (since northern Ireland did not exist until 1922) it is about the Irish revolution in 1916, that happened on Easter Monday, mainly in Dublin. The English brought in tanks and shelled the entirety of Dublin city. When Patrick Pearse, a school teacher and leader of the rebellion surrendered he and all the other leaders were taken to Kilmainham Gaol and executed. Patrick's younger brother was not a leader at all, but because he was related to him he was also executed. The last leader to be executed was 19 years old. One leader was allowed to marry the love of his life in the jail a couple of hours before he was executed. They were not even allowed to kiss. Later, his wife was held in Killmainham during the Irish Civil War. Just so people understand what this amazing song is about...
