Five men were killed today
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.
Five men were killed today,
Leaving five wives as widows.
Six men they tried to kill.
Maybe one will live to raise his son.
I've tried so hard
To tell you what went wrong.
Been fighting for so many years
For something so very wrong.
When will man ever learn
That happiness is his to be earned?
