[Verse 1]
The end of a decade closes in
The oppressed fight back but still can't win
A blind eye sees more than pain
Expressions on heads look so feign

[Chorus]
Four men died today, someone's has to pay
Why did four men die today?
The culprits can't be found, they're hiding underground
Why did four men die today?

[Post-Chorus]
Four men
Four men
Did die today

[Verse 2]
Hoboes and underdogs strike a new chord
They're sick and tired of acting bored
Legions of damned citizens try
While all around, the rotting die

[Chorus]
Four men died today, someone's has to pay
Why did four men die today?
The culprits can't be found, they're hiding underground
Why did four men die today?
[Post-Chorus]
Four men
Four men
Did die today

[Verse 3]
Concerned committees study and gen
The final word from Number Ten
The worried gasp a sigh and frown
As all the walls come crashing down

[Chorus]
Four men died today, someone's has to pay
Why did four men die today?
The culprits can't be found, they're hiding underground
Why did four men die today?

[Post-Chorus]
Four men
Four men
Did die today


[Verse 4]
The end of a decade closes in
The oppressed fight back and still can't win
Doomsday lurks, an ugly figure
Who'll be first to pull the trigger
[Chorus]
Four men died today, someone's has to pay
Why did four men die today?
The culprits can't be found, they're hiding underground
Why did four men die today?

[Post-Chorus]
Four men
Four men
Did die today
