OHIO
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, 1970
Album: 4 Way Street
This song describes a historical event in America during the Vietnam War. It is about the shootings that took place at Kent State University on May 4, 1970; when the National Guard opened fire on a large group of protesters and killed four people.
Many wondered if the Constitution still protected our right to assemble or not.
Lyrics:
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know.
Gonna get down to it soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been down long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know.
