John Edmond - Zimbabwe Ruins

Oh! The Green and White don't fly no more
In Salisbury
And the PM doesn't drive a modest car
And they've changed the name and now it's called Harare
And there's strangers drinking in the Flagstaff bar
And the trash is piling up
On all the pavements
And you can't get milk and sugar, tea or bread
The country's broke
And hospitals are crowded
So if you get sick
You have to share a bed

Zimbabwe ruins!
You were a wonder of the world
And they came from far to gaze upon your stones
Zimbabwe ruins!
Oh, how the tide has turned
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones

The troopie statue's gone away from Cranborne
And the RLI aren't based there any more
And the gooks have made a compound out of Brady
And the beerhall in the quartermaster's store

And someone blew the ammo
At Nkomo
And Joshua and the boys
Have all been framed
And ZAPU want to have a go at ZANU
And I think that Muzorewa
Will be blamed

Zimbabwe ruins!
You were a wonder of the world
And they came from far to gaze upon your stones
Zimbabwe ruins!
Oh, how the tide has turned
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones
Your heart is dead and all that's left are bones
