Zombie


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

Zombie

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie


Another mother's breakin'

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 fightin'

With their tanks

In your head they are dyin'


In your head, in your head

Zombie

What's in your head, in your head

Zombie

War Child


Who will save the war child baby?

Who controls the key?

The web we weave is thick and sordid,

Fine by me.


At times of war, we're all the losers,

There's no victory.

We'll shoot to kill and kill your lover,

Fine by me.


War child, victom of political pride.

Plant the seed, teritorial greed.

Mind the war child.

We should mind the warchild.


I spent last winter in New York, and came upon a man.

He was sleeping on the streets, and homeless.

He said, 'I fought in Vietnam.'

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark.

He bore the mark with pride.

A two inch deep insicion carved into his side.


War child, victom of political pride.

Plant the seed, teritorial greed.

Mind the war child.

We should mind the warchild.


Who's the loser now, eh?

Who's the loser now, eh?

We're all the losers now,

We're all the losers now.

Warchild, warchild.


From "To the Faithful Departed" (1996)

Bosnia


I would like to state my vision.

Life was so unfair.

We live in our secure surroundings,

And people die out there.


Bosnia was so unkind.

Sarajevo changed my mind.


And we all call out in despair.

All the love we need isn't there.

And we all sing songs in our room

Sarajevo erects another tomb


Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo,

Bosnia, was so unkind.

Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo,

Bosnia was so unkind.


I'm sure things would change if we really wanted them to,

No fear for children anymore.

There are babies in their beds,

Terror in their heads. For the love of life!


When do the saints go marching in?

When do the saints go marching in?

When do the saints go marching in?

When do the saints go marching in?


Rummmpatitum, Rummmpatitum...

Traboo, Traboo, Traboo...


From "To the Faithful Departed" (1996)
