Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, which became a high commercial success and sold over five
million copies in the United States. The group was one of the most successful rock acts of the
'90s and sold over 14.5 million albums in the United States alone. The band has achieved four
top 20 albums on the Billboard 200 chart (Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?; No
Need To Argue; To the Faithful Departed and Bury the Hatchet) and eight top 20 singles on the

Thoughts, "Salvation", "Free To Decide" and "Promises".

Complete Lyrics

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 crying...

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',

Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.

In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,

Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
