- Ohio LyricsTin 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 cutting 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?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting 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?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting 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?
Gotta get down to it
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?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

✔️
It is first released in 1977 as part of Neil Young's album "Decade" which includes 35 tracks in total. This song is the 16th track on this album.
✔️
When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, Neil Young's 'Ohio' is a tribute to the lost lives in the Kent State massacre, a brutal episode in US history when the National Guard opened fire and killed four students. The artist condemns the government and the whole situation, the violence of which he finds utterly absurd, and urges bystanders to not only forget the casualties but also ignore their implications on society. Ohio lyrics basically echo the above-mentioned emotions and thoughts: angst, despair, anger, social commentary, and reflection. Nevertheless, the protest against violence, loss, and mourning, and political commentary are stressed through the song. The lyrics do touch on the topics of violence and death, particularly mentioning soldiers and casualties, so they may not be appropriate for very young children. There is no profanity or explicit content, yet the themes are adult-oriented, thus parental discretion is advised.
