The Zulu and the Navaho
  The Belgians in the Congo
  Plantation in Virginia
  The Raj in British India
  The deadline in South Africa
  
  The story of El Salvador
  The silence of Hiroshima
  Destruction of Cambodia
  
  Short memory, must have a short memory
  
  The sight of hotels by the Nile
  The designated Hilton style
  With running water specially bought
  
  A smallish man Afghanistan
  A watch dog in a nervous land
  They're only there to lend a hand
  The friendly five a dusty smile
  Wake up in a sweat at dead of night
  And in the tents new rifles, hey, short memory
