Students of Kent State, Come Gather - by the Liberty Bell
Students of Kent State, Come Hither - by the Liberty Bell
Students of Kent State, Come Gather - by the Liberty Bell
Doo-Do-Doo
Jerry Rubin was here in April
Telling us how to think - yeah
And back in '68 the Kent State Police
Hosted those Pigs from Oakland - Free Bobby Seale -
C'mon - Yeah Man - Don't you care?
C'mon now Sister & Brother - Aren't you scared----
Come with me - to the student Rally
Students of Kent State, Come Gather -- by the Liberty Bell
Oh-Well-It hurts so bad to be American
Oh-the hypocrisy of the U.S. of A
Yeah-It hurts so bad to be American
In a Democracy made of Oligarchies
My Name is Mark
And his name is Gerry - Hi Bob
We from O-H-I-O
Akron O-H-I-O
We push our Art
Or our Art pushes us
We are Graduate Students - Hi Bob
From Kent State Ohio
Nine-teen-Seven-ty - It's 19-70
and our minds are free
Nine-teen-Seven-ty - It's 19-70
And the spring is green
Nine-teen-Seven-ty - It's 19-70
And the chicks are looking sweet
Nine-teen-Seven-ty - It's 19-70
& we're gonna burn - that whole ROT-C building down
BRAKE
Oh yeah it hurts so bad to be American
In this consumer based age
Full of non-stop rage
It makes me feel dark
And it makes me feel lonely
When I'm in the squaresville scene
An off campus dream
I said my name is Mark
I've got a girlie named Chrissie
We are Saturday Sunday
Double Feature Matinee
I - I wanna go - to a place - where the Governor can't touch me
I wanna go - to a place - where the Governor can't touch me
I wanna go - to a place -to a place
Where the Governor can't reach me
Where the Governor can't touch me
Well I hear they're gonna bury
The Constitution
Of the U.S. of A
They're going to bury it today
Well I hear they're gonna bury
The Constitution
Of the U.S. of A
At 12 o' clock today
Well I hear they're gonna bury
That ol' Constitution
Of the U.S. of A
At 12 o' clock today
Ah-Ahh
