I've heard there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord. But you don't really care for music, do you?

[waysider]

No guesses? It's Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen

Ouch.  I knew the song but clearly not enough.

It's the same old theme since 1916

In your head, In your head they're still fightin'
With their tanks and their bombs

[WordWolf]

Sounds familiar.

Something like "Corpse"  by "Mashed Taters and Gravy" or something.

Actually that title is closer to the title of the song, however, no.  

It's the same old theme
Since nineteen sixteen (1916)*edit
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'

In your head, in your head

[WordWolf]

Well, then,

how about "ZOMBIE" by "the Cranberries"?

[Human without the bean]

That's it.

I believe WW's previous answer was. perhaps, a parody of the correct answer.

In fairness, "Mashed Taters and Gravy" could totally be a band's name.

I believe that'd be Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light".

Alright, next one. This should be really easy.

You may want to re-think this one WordHusky.  With the exception of the word 'now', those lyrics give away the title of the song.  Take Paul McCartney's song "Yesterday".  If I were to post the first words in the song they would be "Yesterday, all my troubles were so far away".  But here, you can't leave the title in the lyrics.

Right.  In general, one wants to give the first line of a song, in this thread.  But not if it contains the title.

Unless, of course the first line is something like, "I woke up this morning." 'cuz, well, ya know, the possibilities are endless.

Plus, If you didn't wake up today, how did you write the song?

[WordHusky]

My fault, I'll try a different one.
