Neil Young's "OHIO"
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 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?

One of the best all-time songs IMO.

I had read a lot of people's thoughts on the meaning of the song, but never saw a video like this. That was pretty neat. Thanks.

That was great. I've never seen it done like that.

Pretty much in line with everything I've read about the meanings in that song. One of my all time favourites.

Good film...made me appreciate apple pie in a different sort of way.

Until just recently I had always thought this song was about the day Kennedy was killed.
