Great old anti-war song..
Edited on Sun Nov-28-04 02:41 PM by BayCityProgressive
I just heard "Zombie" by The Cranberries on the radio. It's a great anti-war song. With all of the social unrest and the war going on right now...where are all the protest songs on the radio? In the 60's there were tons...hell, there were more in the early 90's than there are today. What gives?

1. Old?
You call Zombie old? Now you're making me feel old. :-) It's a great tune though.

Coincidentally I just heard Lost In A Lost World by the Moody Blues.

Lost In A Lost World
Moody Blues
(Seventh Sojourn)

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation, against nation, against nation
With racial pride
Sounds...
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light
(shun the light)
They think they're right
(think they're right)
Living in their empty shells

Oh, can you see their bodies thrashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
Angry people in the street
Telling them they've had their fill
Of politics, people who kill

Grow... the seed of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution everyone
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
Let all our brothers come and get some
(so many people, so many people)

Everywhere you go you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
Well look again, come on my friend
Love will find us in the end
Come on my friend
(on my friend)
We've got to bend
(got to bend)
Down on our knees and say a prayer

Oh, can you see the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be
An ever loving family
Have we forgotten who loves who
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and I
Where only love....
(so many people, so many people)

I woke today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world

Who do you think controls the air waves? Supporters of the idiot will not allow the corporate air waves to be used to criticize the actions of the Reich.

4. Zombie is about 10 years old now
it came out in 94. I call it old because I was about 11 when I first heard it.

5. I kind of figured...
that you were young when you first heard it. Still, it's hard for me to consider something that came out when I was in my late 20s old. :-)
