Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah, it's nice to play here at Massey Hall
It's nice
[Instrumental]
Tin soldiers and Nixon comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
[Chorus]
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?
[Instrumental]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
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?
[Instrumental]
Tin soldiers and Nixon comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
