Lyrics
Viet Nam
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Let's say I got a number
That number's fifty thousand
That's ten percent
Of five hundred thousand
Oh here we are in French Indochina
Executive order
Congressional decision
The working masses
Are manipulated
Was this our policy?
Ten long years
Not one domino shall fall
