Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
Next summer I hear the drumming
Four dead in Ohio
When you 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
When you know
Na na na
When you 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
And how can you run when you know
When you know
Na na na
Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drumming
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) four dead in Ohio how many more
Four dead in Ohio
(Four dead in Ohio)
(Four dead in Ohio)
