This song has two meanings to me on which I can't decide.
The first of which being figurative:
they emphasize how our concerns shift constantly, one minute we're extremely concerned about the way we treat our environment, but the next we're concerned about those victimized by war and poverty.
The next meaning would be literal:
Someone goes to Argentina for vacation or something and describes the ride entering a coastal city, but paradise turns to distopia as Argentina loses in war against the UK. Suddenly,the tourist/visitor/whatever sees that the destruction ruined their vacation and that upon going home, they realize that to them Argentina has become a colored shape on their map and they forget about it quickly.
