The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in Limerick in 1989. Their music is characterized by the distinctive voice of lead singer Dolores O’Riordan and their blend of rock, pop, and folk influences. Their debut album, “Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We?” was released in 1993 and quickly gained popularity with its hit single “Linger”. The band went on to release several more successful albums including “No Need to Argue” and “To the Faithful Departed” in the 1990s.
The Cranberries were known for their socially and politically conscious lyrics, often touching on themes of war, religion, and love. O’Riordan’s unique voice and vocal style helped to set the band apart from other groups of the time, and their sound had a lasting impact on the alternative rock scene of the 1990s. Some of their most well-known songs include “Zombie“, “Dreams” and “Ode to My Family.” O’Riordan passed away in 2018, but the music of The Cranberries continues to be celebrated and remembered by fans around the world.

The Cranberries – Zombie Lyrics
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistakenBut 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, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey
What’s in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey, ohDou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, dou
Dou, dou, dou, douAnother mother’s breakin’
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistakenIt’s the same old theme
Since nineteen-sixteen
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
What’s in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, oh, ya, ya-a
