And it's about the dangnab North Ireland troubles, although Dolores specifically calls out the year 1916 which is the Easter Rebellion. But really Ireland had been opposing England in some way since 1798.

Also it's worth noting that while Zombie is a great song, its message reduces the Troubles to violence being committed by unthinking "zombies" whose problems are simply "in their heads". Dolores was not from Northern Ireland, and the violent acts committed by both the paramilitaries and government forces are very real.
