Bloody Ohio

A friend sent this to me earlier. I did not know about this day in history. A little background from the Great Tenuto ...
On May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen opened fire on anti-war protesters at Kent State University, killing four students and wounding nine others.
This is their song.
==============

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
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

What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?

We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
