Soundtrack: Shots on a massacre on 4th May, 1970

Tin 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.

Ricordo di un'epoca che non sembra mai finire.
Ricordo di un modo di pensare, guardando la realtà.
Ricordo di una volontà di essere.
Sempre e solo se stessi, irriducibilmente leali.
Indipendentemente dal resto della società che vive anestetizzata.
Addormentata ed esclusa dalla propria dignià di pensare.
Route 66 diventa route 61. Oggi.

Soundtrack: Ohio - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (CSN 1974)
