short memory — Midnight Oil

Conquistador of Mexico 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
