"Ohio"
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
"Ohio" is about a shooting that took place at Kent State University in 1970. Nixon sent the National Guard to stop a protest. The National Guard shot into the crowd killing four innocents. The song "Ohio" is protesting the governments tactics of killing innocents because they are following their first amendment rights.
