For those who don’t understand the references I made (scheuer, Kent) look up “hey sandy” lyrics or don’t, I’ll just post them below. This was a cover song about the Kent state massacre in which Sandy Scheuer, along with some others, were killed by state militia.
"Attention, all personnel, this is CBTS,
Phase vehicle pre-count operation will start
On my mark in
Five four …
Hey, smilin' strange
You're lookin' happily deranged
Can you settle to shoot me
Or have you picked your target yet?
Hey Sandy, (Ai ai ai ai)
Don't you talk back, (ai ai ai ai)
Hey Sandy
Four feet away
End of speech, it's the end of the day
But we was only funnin'
But guiltily I thought you had it comin'.
Hey Sandy, (Ai ai ai ai)
Don't you talk back, (ai ai ai ai)
Hey Sandy
Hey Sandy, (Ai ai ai ai)
Don't you talk back, (ai ai ai ai)
Hey Sandy
Hey Sandy, (Ai ai ai ai)
Don't you talk back, (ai ai ai ai)
Edit - to be clear, the original writer of this song and Polaris WAS NOT APPROVING of the shooting: this was a very cynical song. It’s bathed in beauty but is intended to tell people about what happened. Kind of like how Pete and Pete as a show was pretty subversive, they just did it the old school way and twitter didnt exist to frick everything up
