Bad Wolves Lyrics

Another head hangs lowly
Another person is killed and their lifeless body hangs low

Child is slowly taken
An innocent child is taken away and likely killed

And the violence causes silence
Violent actions have silenced those who would speak out against them

Who are we mistaken?
The singer questions why they and society as a whole are allowing this violence to continue

But you see, it's not me
The singer tries to distance themselves from the violence

It's not my family
The singer takes further steps to express that they are not directly responsible

In your head, in your head, they are fighting
The violence is so prevalent and constant on the news and in society that it feels like it's happening in your own mind

With their tanks and their bombs And their bombs and their drones
The weapons being used in the violence are modern and destructive, includin tanks, bombs, and drones

In your head, in your head, they are crying
The singer expresses that even the perpetrators of the violence are affected by it, giving them a sense of humanity despite their actions

What's in your head, in your head? Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
The line 'Zombie, zombie, zombie' is repeated, seemingly representing the endless cycle of violence and how it can be dehumanizing

Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
The pain and sorrow of another mother who has lost her child has taken over her life

We must be mistaken
The singer implores society to recognize and correct the mistake of allowing such violence to continue

In your head, in your head, they're still fighting With their tanks and their bombs And their guns and their drones
The same violent acts continue despite the passage of time and technological advancements in weaponry

In your head, in your head, they are dying
Despite the continuation of violence, there is also death and loss

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Yeah, ooh
The song ends on a haunting note, highlighting the ongoing tragedy of violence and war
