That's about it. Obviously, you'll have to listen to the song to get the timing and the subtleties of this truly brilliant song.
LYRICS:
Conquistador of Mexico The Zulu and the Navaho The Belgians in tht Congo Short Memory
Plantation in Virginia The Raj in British India The deadline in South Africa Short Memory
The story of El Salvador The silence of Hiroshima Destruction of Cambodia Short Memory
Short memory, must have a short memory Short memory, must have a short memory
The sight of hotels by the Nile The designated Hilton style With running water specially bought Short memory
A smallish man Afghanistan A watchdog in a nervous land They're only there to lend a hand Short memory
The friendly five a dusty smile Wake up in sweat at dead of night And in the tents new rifles, hey, short memory
Short memory, must have a short memory Short memory, must have a short memory
