Lyrics
Can't you see the soldiers
I've seen them marching
Whole lotta soldiers
I've seen them marching
I've seen tin soldiers, I hear them coming
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
Soldiers, I hear them marching
Soldiers, I hear them marching
Soldiers, I see them come
I've seen tin soldiers with guns, they are coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down Lord
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How could you run when you know?
When you know, how could you run?
When you know, how could you run?
Yah!
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Tin soldiers with guns, they're coming
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago now
What if you knew that girl
And found her dead on the ground
How could you run when you know?
Tell me how could you run
Run when you know?
How could you run, run when you know?
You gotta tell me, tell me
How could you run?
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
La la la la la la la la

Machine guns, bullets flying
Children run, mothers screaming [Father, forgive them]
Machine guns
Bullets flying
Machine gun, bullets flying
Children scream
The fellas run
Mothers mourn [blessed are, the meek]
Machine gun
Carry my body [Lord, have mercy, forgive them], machine gun
[For they know not, what they do] Carry my body
Jimi Hendrix would say
Machine gun, don't you shoot me
Don't you shoot me, don't you shoot me
Don't you shoot me, don't you shoot me
Machine gun, machine gun, don't, don't
Tell me why, you gotta tell me
I wanna know why, you gotta tell me
Somebody take the time to explain
Why the machine gun bullets are flying flying like rain
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Four dead in Ohio
Four dead in Ohio
Four dead in Ohio
Four dead
