"Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert" is a song from Pink Floyd's 1983 album, The Final Cut.[1][2]

A sound effect used in this song was later used as a segue on Roger Waters's 1992 solo album Amused to Death, branching the two part song "Late Home Tonight."

The lyrics of this song list a number of world leaders and conflicts they have been involved in; including Leonid Brezhnev and his invasion of Afghanistan, Menachem Begin and his attack on Beirut, Leopoldo Galtieri invading the Falkland Islands and Margaret Thatcher's counter-attack which sparked the Falklands War.
