"Kent State University in May 1970, when a peaceful student protest against the US invasion of Cambodia escalated into a deadly confrontation. Over 4 tense days, rising unrest, curfews, and the deployment of the Ohio National Guard led to clashes between students and authorities. On May 4, during a peaceful noon rally, the National Guard opened fire on unarmed students, killing four and wounding nine."

#Wikipedia: " 'Tin soldiers and Nixon coming' refers to the #KentState shootings, where Ohio #NationalGuard officers shot and killed four students during a #protest against the #VietnamWar. Crosby once stated that Young keeping #Nixon's name in the lyrics was 'the bravest thing I ever heard.' "

"Tin soldiers and Nixon's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning 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?
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na
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's comin'
We're finally on our own
This summer I hear the drummin'
Four dead in Ohio"

Remembering May 4 - An Interview with Devo's Jerry Casale | School of Art, College of the Arts, Kent State Today, May 4, 50th Commemoration Arts & Culture, May 4 50, School of Art, College of the Arts, May 4, 50th Commemoration of May 4, Featured May 4, School of Art Alumni, College of the Arts Alumni | โI had always been making art and music but the events of May 4th and beyond galvanized my creativity, infusing it with an existential anger and urgency that would otherwise not have happened. In short Devo and the idea of De-evolution as a manifesto would not exist without that defining historic trauma I experienced.โ - Jerry Casale
