You'Ll Never Keep Us Kids Down Again

You'll never keep us kids down again You'll never keep us kids down again You did it before But you'll do it no more You'll never keep us kids down again We carried out Pickett signs To wake people up to the changing times You shot us at school (Kent State) You were the fools You'll never keep us kids down again Oldsters said our music was bad The news about us was always sad Well, we helped stop a war (Vietnam) On far and distant shore It took us years to win Some will never know where we've been You tried it before But you'll do it no more You'll never keep us kids down again No, you'll never keep us kids down again The Vietnam war era my youth.
