Lights illuminate Ethiopia, North Afrika, and the Middle East.
[AUSTRIAN NORTH AFRIKA KORPS]
It's a hard-fought war for us!
[AUSTRIAN NEAR EAST EXPEDITIONARY FORCE]
It's a hard-fought war for us!
[HAILE]
'Steada aided,
[A.N.E.E.F.]
We get left!
[HAILE]
'Steada supplied,
[A.N.A.K.]
We're bereft!
[ALL]
It's a hard-fought war!
Got assigned this worthless front,
Now we've gotta bear the brunt!
[HAILE]
Starved divisions,
[A.N.A.K.]
'Steada fed!
[HAILE]
Anarch armies,
[ETHIOPIANS]
[appear in front of Haile] 'Steada led!
[ALL]
It's a hard-fought war!
[HAILE]
Don't it feel like the Brits are always thinkin'?
[A.N.E.E.F.]
Don't it seem like there's nothin' you can do?
[A.N.A.K.]
O'er the horizon, you see your transports sinkin',
[AUSTRIAN DIVISION]
[on board the sinking transport] At least they sank before they loaded you!
Glub, glub!
[HAILE]
No one's here when the British get so vexing!
No one knows or cares if we just break down!
Sometimes it seems that God made us for annexing!
[ETHIOPIANS]
And the major powers just toss us around!
[ALL]
Ach!!!!!!!
Empty belly war!
One 'gainst twenty war!
Overwhelming war!
Allied realming war!
[A.N.A.K.]
We're on Austria's ignore
[HAILE]
Austria?
Are they at war?
[ALL]
Our allies say we can get bent
Here, on the Dark Con-tinent!
[A.N.E.E.F.]
[spoken] Actually, it's not so bad over in this part of the world...
[ETHIOPIANS and A.N.A.K.]
All fall back! Give up land
Dig entrenchments...
[HAILE]
...if you can!
[Ethiopians run past him, carrying shovels that aren't technologically sufficient for digging in]
[ETHIOPIANS and A.N.A.K.]
We exist on but a strand
[VIENNA STAFF]
Save our manpower! Disband!
[A.N.E.E.F.]
[speaking] This ain't so bad!
The Brits are gone!
I think this front might just be won!
[ETHIOPIANS and A.N.A.K.]
It's a hard-fought war for us
It's a hard-fought war for us
No one finds your purpose grand
Fighting in I.C.-wasteland
[ETHIOPIANS]
It's a hard-fought war
[A.N.A.K.]
It's a hard-fought war
[A.N.A.K. troops disappear, becoming one with the manpower pool]
[HAILE]
[in a plane, flying from Ethiopia]
It's a hard-fought war!
