Zombie – violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken?

Just happened that I listened to this song today – I haven’t heard it for many years.  It was written as a protest song following the IRA bombings in Warrington in 1993.  However, it could be released today and fit our mixed up world quite perfectly.  A world with many sleep walking zombies …

I get that not everyone feels as passionate as I do about this humanitarian crisis, lots do but many don’t.  However, the failure of our world leaders to manage this crisis in Europe and many others around the world humanly…..plus  the widespread public disinterest with regard to massive human suffering, is a threat to humanity and freedom globally.  We should all be really worried about the EU closing borders, putting up barbed wire fences and mistreating/rejecting vulnerable people who have no choice and nowhere to go.

Just because its not us, not our family,  this time – doesn’t mean it won’t be next time.

We are a global family – we travel the world, eat food from around the world, watch films from around the world, study and make friends with people from around the world, trade around the world … More now than any other time we need to realise this, people need to be treated equally.  Children and innocent civilians killed in Syria, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq should create just as much outrage as those killed on the streets of Paris, Belgium or America.

 

 Spread the human stories, speak out and help people to open their eyes and not be zombies …

“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 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

What’s in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie”
