LyricMeaning

Angola
Ambrosia

I was living in Angola, reading in the paper

'Bout the new depression sot the States upset

Still, I just can't see how only one TV

And two slightly used cars causes such regrets


In this country such as ours, if we had these things

We would either be European or descend from kings


Oh sometimes, you know, I hunger for more than food

For more than the shelter from the cold monsoons

I'd like swimmin' pools and refrigerated air

And an extra room to spare no more ten to a room

And a thinking color set with a close-up zoom


But in this country such as ours, if we had these things

We'd be a U.N. delegation or a visiting queen

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


And you remember well, the day when old Wall Street fell

And do you fear it again

Still there is one major difference in just how we see some things

What you call poor we call prosperity

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Oh sometimes, you know, I hunger for more than food

For more than the shelter from the cold monsoons

I'd like swimmin' pools and refrigerated air

And an extra room to spare no more ten to a room

And a thinking color set with a close-up zoom


But in this country such as ours, if we had these things

We'd be a U.N. delegation or a visiting queen

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Oh, living in Angola, I'm just living in Angola

I said living in Angola, living in Angola

I said living in Angola, yeah living in Angola

I said Angola, Angola, Angola, gola

Living in Angola, gola, gola, gola, gola, gola
