"Another mother's breakin'

Heart is takin' 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'"

– The Cranberries, Zombie

“Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to Mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds... Oh Lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgment day comes, yeah! Now in darkness, world stops turning Ashes where the bodies burning No more war pigs have the power Hand of God has struck the hour Day of Judgment, God is calling On their knees the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings... Oh Lord, yeah!”

– Black Sabbath, War Pigs
