lyrics

Kent State

One night I was dreaming,
Safe in my home.
I saw on the T.V.
A strange kind of show.
They showed me some soldiers,
And they showed me some kids,
And you know you would be dreaming,
If you saw what they did.

And they all were good men,
And they all had wives,
They fired on children,
And took their lives.

My friends were marching,
They were carrying flags.
They were talking of fighting,
Going on in some strange far off land.
Then I saw some shooting,
And saw heard scary tale sounds,
My friends they were screaming,
They were falling to the ground.

Now call it what you may,
And explain what you can,
But it's hard to find reason,
In an unreasonable land.
I've got four dead friends who wanted to say,
Please stop this fighting,
People are getting killed every day.
