This week's song: "Zombies" by Cranberries

Cranberries are an Irish group too. Here you are the lyrics of the song. Material creado por el grupo de trabajo de Lydia Ávila, Elia Huertas, Carmen Santos y M.José Sánchez

ZOMBIES CRANBERRIES

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...

This week's song: She works hard for the money

This song pays homage to all the hard working women in the world. Enjoy it!

Donna Summers: She works hard for the money

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Onetta here in the corner stand and wonders where she is.

And it's strange to her, some people seem to have everything.

9 am on the hour hand and she's waiting for the bell.

And she's looking real pretty. She's waiting for her clientele.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

Twenty eight years have come and gone.

And she's seen a lot of tears

of the ones who come in. They really seem to need her there.

It's a sacrifice working day to day. For little money just tips for pay.

But it's worth it all just to hear them say that they care.

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.

She already knows she's seen her bad times.

She already knows these are the good times.

She'll never sell out, she never will, not for a dollar bill.

She works haaaaard.........

She works hard for the money. So hard for it, honey.

She works hard for the money. So you better treat her right.
