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
