Rudolph Isley - Ohio / Machine Gun lyrics

[Verse 1] Can't you see the soldiers I seen them marching Whole lotta soldiers I seen them marching I seen tin soldiers, I hear them coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin' Four dead in Ohio [Hook] Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio (Yah!) [Verse 2] Soldiers, I hear them marching Soldiers, I hear them marching Soldiers, I see them come I seen tin soldiers with guns, they are coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin' Four dead in Ohio [Verse 3] Gotta get down to it Soldiers are cutting us down, Lord Should have been done long ago What if you knew her And found her dead on the ground How could you run when you know? When you know, how could you run? When you know, how could you run? Yah! [Bridge] La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la [Verse 4] Tin soldiers with guns, they're coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drummin' Four dead in Ohio [Verse 5] Gotta get down to it Soldiers are cutting us down Should have been done long ago now What if you knew that girl And found her dead on the ground How could you run when you know? Tell me how could you run Run when you know? How could you run, run when you know? You gotta tell me, tell me How could you run? [Hook] Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio (Tell me why) Four dead in Ohio (You gotta tell me) Four dead in Ohio (Tell me why) Four dead in Ohio (You gotta tell me) Four dead in Ohio (Why?) Four dead in Ohio (Why?) Four dead in Ohio (Why?) Four dead in Ohio (Tell me why) Four dead in Ohio (Why?) [Outro] La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la Machine guns, bullets flying Children run, mothers screaming (Father, forgive them) Machine guns (for they know not) Bullets flying (what they do) Machine gun, bullets flying (blessed are) Children scream (the pure in heart) (For they) The fellas run (shall see God) Mothers mourn (blessed are, the meek) (For they) Machine gun (shall inherit the Earth) Carry my body (Lord, have mercy, forgive them), machine gun (For they know not, what they do) Carry my body (Forgive them, they know not what they do) Jimi Hendrix would say Machine gun, don't you shoot me Don't you shoot me, don't you shoot me Don't you shoot me, don't you shoot me Machine gun, machine gun, don't, don't Tell me why, you gotta tell me I wanna know why, you gotta tell me Somebody take the time to explain Why the machine gun bullets are flying flying like rain La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la La la la la la la la Four dead, Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead in Ohio Four dead
