The Cranberries - Zombie

The Cranberries met the international fame in 1993, with their first album Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we?.
Zombie is one of the band's biggest singles. A great protest song by the Irish band. From their 1994 album, No need to argue, the song laments the dead of 2 children in an IRA bombing in Warrington, England (two separate bombing attacks that happened during early 1993).

The song is about The Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever. Like other songs of Yeats, Heaney and U2, The Cranberries claim they wrote Zombie to be a Song for peace, peace among England and Ireland.


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 bones and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying...
