歌曲歌詞
They took their kids in their teenage years
Fitted them out with combat gear
Filled their hearts with mortal fear and sent them away
Some came home their pants in creases
Some came home in bits and pieces
The president made a lot of speeches
And went fishing for the day
'Cause they have short memories
They forget it all so quickly
They have short memories now it's gone
They have short memories
It disappears just like quick silver
They have short memories now it's gone
My daddy was in nicosea
Egypt and north korea
He came back to a good career shovelling coal
I was just the village lout I never got my finger out
I never wanted for anything still
I broke and entered and stole
'Cause they have short memories
They forget it all so quickly
They have short memories now it's gone
We have short memories
It disappears before you know it
We have short memories now it's gone
At you can't stop a train or catch the rain drops
I ask they come
Falling
Sure there'll be another war
Sure as sure the call up will come
Calling
Ah they took their kids in their teenage years
Gave them a god that they could fear
Said they could kill but not drink beer
And sent them away
Some came back in a body bag
Some came back wrapped in a flag
And on each toe there hung a tag saying
There'll be more someday
'Cause they have short memories
They forget it all so quickly
They have short memories
Now it's now it's gone
They have short memories
It disappears just like quick silver
They have short memories now it's gone
Now it's gone
Now it's gone
It's gone
It's gone
