Well I'm six years late with this but I was just looking that song up right now. Grant Baynham sang that song on my radio show on Radio WM back in the 80s.

Grant is on Facebook and I think he has updated his site now. I don't think the song's recorded though.

This is what I remember of it:

"If you ever watch the news and confuse the Jews and Druze
If you think that after all it doesn't matter
If those helpful little maps
Leave you closer to collapse
If you can't tell your Assad from your Al Fata

(forgotten bit)

Basically the Middle East is very largely sand
With some arbitrary dotted lines dividing up the land
There's nothing much to do there so every night at nine
They all go out with pointed sticks and move the dotted line.
Then they pick a place to argue like the West Bank or Beirut
Pick some sides at random, toss to see who gets first shoot.
Then they knock blocks off each other until one side thinks it's won
Or a small UN peacekeeping force turns up to spoil the fun.

Then American marines arrive, grateful for the outing,
Jumping out of helicopters, doing lots of shouting.
They find the dotted line and decide to paint it green
Then they leave the French to guard it while they practice looking mean.

Meanwhile a Western journalist is trying to look intense
With a gritty piece to camera that actually makes sense
So the folks get what they paid for when they watch the news at nine
- but by ten the rules have changed again and someone's moved the line...
