Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - Ohio (Studio Version)

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Ohio

Lyrics:
Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.

Gotta get down to it.
Soldiers are gunning 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?

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na.

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's comin'.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drummin'.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.
Four dead in Ohio.

Powerful song, shit today doesnt compare

[thexalon]

For those who think that they were 'drugged out hippies' that deserved to be shot and killed, it's worth pointing out that one of those killed, Bill Schroeder, was not a protester but an ROTC enlistee on his way to class, shot in the back from 382 feet away.

[RedDragon0719]

Epic song

[1113stve]

@klekota57 They made the mistake of letting scared rookies have live ammunition. Not saying it wasn't horrible, just an explanation.

13 people are dead in ohio

[klekota57]

4 students who were walking to class. 3 of them including 2 girls were more than 100 yards away. All murdered in cold blood and it was planned.

[klekota57]

Killed (and approximate distance from the National Guard): Allison Krause 343 ft. (105 m); fatal left chest wound Jeffrey Glen Miller 265 ft. (81 m); shot through the mouth - killed instantly. Sandra Lee Scheuer 390 ft. (119 m); fatal neck wound . William Knox Schroeder 382 ft. (116 m); fatal chest wound .

@phillip4644 Its much deeper than that . These men were under orders to kill kids that day . Government revenge for the ROTC fire. This was planned cold blooded murder.

You say you were in the service ????? Rules of engagement and fire discipline..Soldiers do not make these kinds of mistakes.

[spenderofthrones]

A tragic event, haunting lyrics, mixed with sweet harmony. Some of their best work.

[Kitty4TheWin]

I heard this as the background song for a documentary in my Junior year of high school (about two years ago).

The lyrics stuck in my mind since then.

Glad I found this.

Really powerful lyrics. Emotional, but not overly so.

@TheGinger15765 That's just bad theology. One shouldn't pigeonhole God. Much respect to your Grandfather, though.

@khart221 Of course it will get everyone riled up. Profiling, stereotyping, and prejudice always do.
