AMBROSIA lyrics : "Angola"

I was living in Angola,
Reading in the paper
'Bout the new depression

Got 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


Ooh! 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 ...
