May 4th, 1970

All they wanted was for this to end

For the bombs to stop dropping 

Cascading the jungle in flames 

A crowd like any other

Simply asking for change 

But you silenced them

Barrels in the air 

Took four lives in Ohio

 Not a sentence given 

 No blame was placed 

They let you go on with your lives

As though everything was the same 

Four families torn apart 

Because you ruined them

Was it worth it?

Innocent blood on your hands 

Four bodies hit the pavement 

And you still sit on your couches

You remained the same 

While four bodies lay under the spring sunlight
