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 cryin'.
In your head (x2)
Zombie (x3)
What's in your head,
In your head?
Zombie (x3)
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 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 (x2)
Zombie (x3)
What's in you head,
In your head?
Zombie (x3)

('Zombie' was written on the Cranberries English tour 1993.
Man's inhumanity to man, and worse still, to child.)
