[00:00:01] Written by：Graham Park

[00:00:12] They took their kids in their teenage years

[00:00:15] Fitted them out with combat gear

[00:00:17] Filled their hearts with mortal fear and sent them away

[00:00:22] Some came home their pants in creases

[00:00:25] Some came home in bits and pieces

[00:00:27] The president made a lot of speeches

[00:00:30] And went fishing for the day

[00:00:33] 'Cause they have short memories

[00:00:35] They forget it all so quickly

[00:00:38] They have short memories now it's gone

[00:00:43] They have short memories

[00:00:45] It disappears just like quick silver

[00:00:48] They have short memories now it's gone

[00:00:57] My daddy was in nicosea

[00:01:00] Egypt and north korea

[00:01:02] He came back to a good career shovelling coal

[00:01:07] I was just the village lout I never got my finger out

[00:01:12] I never wanted for anything still

[00:01:15] I broke and entered and stole

[00:01:18] 'Cause they have short memories

[00:01:20] They forget it all so quickly

[00:01:23] They have short memories now it's gone

[00:01:28] We have short memories

[00:01:30] It disappears before you know it

[00:01:33] We have short memories now it's gone

[00:01:39] At you can't stop a train or catch the rain drops

[00:01:43] I ask they come

[00:01:45] Falling

[00:01:50] Sure there'll be another war

[00:01:52] Sure as sure the call up will come

[00:01:55] Calling

[00:02:02] Ah they took their kids in their teenage years

[00:02:05] Gave them a god that they could fear

[00:02:07] Said they could kill but not drink beer

[00:02:10] And sent them away

[00:02:13] Some came back in a body bag

[00:02:15] Some came back wrapped in a flag

[00:02:18] And on each toe there hung a tag saying

[00:02:20] There'll be more someday

[00:02:23] 'Cause they have short memories

[00:02:25] They forget it all so quickly

[00:02:28] They have short memories

[00:02:30] Now it's now it's gone

[00:02:33] They have short memories

[00:02:35] It disappears just like quick silver

[00:02:38] They have short memories now it's gone

[00:02:43] Now it's gone

[00:02:45] Now it's gone

[00:02:48] It's gone

[00:02:51] It's gone
