Lyrics:

every truncheon hit misguided the peoples army divided united stance amped out war dance what a ride inner thought of non violent rebellion outside dare to die stand and fight show faith return all the weapons government says use them right fixed action set in motion doubting amnesia potion what to hide red carpet ride guessing right the jokes on dark corner the square you bath once a week distorted the viewpoint seldom seen wayback in 68 ohio kent state was nothing so great have of have not forcing the point shot in the back take it back down trod soldier away flower power within kill me kill this way of life and be known one by one they'll be coming down altogether sister machine gun automatic high what a ride what a trip tripped over the candlestick tanks arrive fire wall got to keep the camera alive tell the world whats going on here warning shots are fired at the stomach chest wound coed falls amped out amped out changing guns for brooms the guards change to clean up crews way back in 68 every thing was so great no way wrong date keep up the trade balanced charade close circuit truth used to remove keep the camera alive
