Lyric Substitutions!!

Hello!
I have a student who wants to sing Zombie by the Cranberries for talent show, but we need to obviously change the lyrics that mention weapons as we cannot sing in school. I work with K-12 students so not sure if it’s appropriate at all to sing but wanted to get some advice!

Does anyone have any suggestions?? Also, what is your rule of thumb for changing lyrics to make songs school appropriate?

Editing to add: I totally agree with what everyone is saying - this was kind of just a last ditch effort to see if there was a way as she really wants to do it but I’ll ask our principal. Thank you!! ☺️

TIA!!!

Feeling defeated

Hi everyone- newbie here
Newly married 2 years ago (29F/31M) and we’ve kinda struggled with intimacy throughout our relationship but we have hit a new low. No matter what I do, I just can’t get him in the bedroom. This is the longest stint we’ve gone (about 5 months now) without ANY intimacy. I’m talking touching/etc etc. we kiss hello goodnight and such but no make outs.

I’m always the one to initiate and therefore, I’m always the one that gets turned down and I feel so rejected. He swears it’s not me, and that he’s just not in the mood, but he never is. I’ve tried all the cute outfits, trying to be flirty, asking him what his fantasies are, etc I feel like I’ve tried a lot but all lead to him saying “sorry not right now” or “sorry just stressed/tired” but it’s every. time.

I really don’t know what to do. We started to go to marriage counseling in hopes of better communication and hopefully that’ll help too but I truly think he doesn’t understand the importance of feeling wanted by your partner, and the importance of intimacy.

Thanks for reading…
