4. "The Kent State Massacre March":

(Sung to the tune of "The Caissons Go Rolling Along"...)

In a fight, on a hill,
We will shoot them all to kill,
And the Guardsmen go shooting along....

Fire at will, use live shells,
Shoot those Commies all to hell,
And the Guardsmen go shooting along....

And it's hi-hi-hoo,
Let's all get one or two,
Count off your victims loud and strong!
(ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!)

We will lose our cool
When we hit another school,
And the Guardsmen go shooting along....

I don't remember where I saw this...Mad magazine, maybe? or Cracked? couldn't tell ya, but it stuck with me all these years. But it pretty well nails the attitudes of the perpetrators and their supporters. Still burns me up that there was never any justice for the Kent State massacre victims. It was the beginning of my seething hatred of Nixon and his cronies--and the right-wingers who followed them.
