Time for protest! Zombie was written by lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in protest of the conflicts that have been happening in Northern Ireland for decades. Sinead Oconnor had brought attention to the conflicts earlier in the 90s through various songs. In particular the song is about bombings that had killed two children. Despite the success of the song the conflicts continued until 2005 when the IRA declared all members should discard all weapons and embrace peace.
