This song is about the Warrington bombings and The Troubles that they are part of. It is about innocent people and children dying.
More than 3,500 people were killed in the conflict, of whom 52% were civilians, 32% were members of the British security forces, and 16% were members of paramilitary groups.

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-ie-ie
What's in your head,
in your head
Zombie, zombie,
zombie-ie-ie, oh
(Du, du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du, du)
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 are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head,
in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh, ay, oh, ya ya
