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 was turned
Your heart is dead and all is 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 an 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 was turned
Your heart is dead and all is left are bones
