CRANBERRIES
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, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, 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 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
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Animal Instinct

Suddenly something has happened to me 
As I was having my cup of tea 
Suddenly I was feeling depressed 
I was utterly and totally stressed 
Do you know you made me cry 
Do you know you made me die 

And the thing that gets to me 
Is you'll never really see 
And the thing that freaks me out 
Is I'll always be in doubt 
It is a lovely thing that we have 
It is a lovely thing that we 
It is a lovely thing, the animal 
The animal instinct 

So take my hands and come with me 
We will change reality 
So take my hands and we will pray 
They won't take you away 
They will never make me cry, no 
They will never make me die 
And the thing that gets to me 
Is you'll never really see 
And the thing that freaks me out 
Is I'll always be in doubt 

The animal, the animal, 
the animal instinct in me 
It's the animal, the animal, 
the animal instinct in me 
It's the animal, it's the animal, 
it's the animal instinct in me x2 

I Just Shot John Lennon

It was the fearful night of December 8,
He was returning home from his studio, late.
He had perseptively known that it wouldn't be nice,
Because in 1980 he paid the price.

John Lennon Died. (x6)
With a Smith and Wesson, 38,
John Lennon's life was no longer a debate.
He should have stayed at home.
He should have never cared.
And the man who took his life declared,

He said... "I just shot John Lennon"
He said, "I just shot John Lennon"
What a sad and sorry and sickening sight
What a sad and sorry and sickening night...

Ode To My Family

Doo doo-doo doo, doo doo-doo doo

Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me
'Cause I spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see, do you like me, do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know, do you see me, do you see me, does anyone care

Unhappiness, where's when I was young and we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised to see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother, she hold me, she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me, oh he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design
And people everywhere think something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it when I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find, does anyone care

Unhappiness, where's when I was young and we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised to see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother, she hold me, she hold me when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me, oh me liked me

Does anyone care x8

Doo doo-doo doo x12

Promises

Ooh ooh-ooh...

You'd better believe I'm coming, you'd better believe what I say
You'd better hold on to your promises
Because you bet you'll get what you deserve
She's going to leave him over, she's gonna take her love away
So much for your eternal vows, well it does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile, stay with me

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, all the promises we made (promises we made)
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, all the promises we broke (promises we broke)
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke

Doo doo doo...

What of all the things that you've taught me
What of all the things that you'd say
What of all your prophetic preaching, you're just throwing it all away
Maybe we should burn the house down, have ourselves another fight
Leave the cobwebs in the closet 'cause tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile
Stay here awhile, stay with me, oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, all the promises we made (promises we made)
All the meaningless and empty words I prayed, prayed, prayed
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, all the promises we broke (promises we broke)
All the meaningless and empty words I spoke, spoke, spoke

Oh-eh oh-eh oh-eh oh-eh oh eh

Salvation

To all those people doing lines, don't do it, don't do it
Inject your soul with liberty, it's free, it's free
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do
Because it's not not what it seems
No no, it's not not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free X2
Uh-huh-huh...

Do do do...

To all the parents with sleepless nights, sleepless nights
Tie your kids home to their beds, clean their heads
To all the kids with heroin eyes, don't do it, don't do
Because it's not not what it seems
no no, it's not not what it seems

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free X4

Uh-huh-huh...
