May 1970
Opened the door, early morning and the terrible news was right there
Four students dead in Ohio, four students dead protesting the War.
I heard the reasons for fighting that war
I heard but I just don't remember
Was it worth all the lives that were lost in that fight?
Was it worth it to prove to the world we were right?
A couple days later, at my high school
A protest erupts against fighting that War
And the students are angry because two days before
Others died in Ohio protesting the war.
Some defending the war were enraged and upset
How it started, I don't quite remember
But those jocks charged the crowd, chased the protestors down
And fractured the skull of their leader.
A couple years later, that leader returned
To complete his high school education
His father had died in the Korean War,
his father died serving this nation.
The protests continued, five years later.
The protestors ended that war.
I heard the reasons for fighting that war
I heard but I don't quite remember
Was it worth all the lives that were lost in that fight?
Was it worth it to prove to the world we were right?
Four students dead in Ohio, four students dead protesting the War.
I heard the reasons for fighting that war
I heard but I just don't remember
Was it worth all the lives that were lost in that fight?
Was it worth it to prove to the world we were right?
A couple days later, at my high school
A protest erupts against fighting that War
And the students are angry because two days before
Others died in Ohio protesting the war.
Some defending the war were enraged and upset
How it started, I don't quite remember
But those jocks charged the crowd, chased the protestors down
And fractured the skull of their leader.
A couple years later, that leader returned
To complete his high school education
His father had died in the Korean War,
his father died serving this nation.
The protests continued, five years later.
The protestors ended that war.
I heard the reasons for fighting that war
I heard but I don't quite remember
Was it worth all the lives that were lost in that fight?
Was it worth it to prove to the world we were right?
