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...
