Lyrics

[00:17.79] I was living in Angola,
[00:20.49] Reading in the paper
[00:22.54] 'Bout the new depression
[00:24.55] Got the States upset
[00:26.73] Still, I just can't see
[00:28.86] How only one TV
[00:30.98] And two slightly used cars
[00:32.85] Causes such regrets
[00:35.11] In this country such as ours,
[00:37.48] If we had these things,
[00:39.36] We would either be European
[00:41.60] Or descend from kings
[00:46.98]
[00:53.04] Oh! Sometimes, you know,
[00:54.67] I hunger for more than food,
[00:57.35] For more than the shelter
[00:59.10] From the cold monsoons
[01:01.67] I'd like swimmin' pools
[01:03.60] And refrigerated air
[01:05.92] And an extra room to spare
[01:07.86] （No more ten to a room）,
[01:10.29] And a thinking color set
[01:12.17] With a close-up zoom
[01:14.36] But in this country such as ours,
[01:16.92] If we had these things,
[01:18.73] We'd be a U.N. delegation
[01:21.17] Or a visiting queen
[01:25.37]
[01:27.49] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:31.68]
[01:49.57] And you remember well
[01:52.19] The day when old Wall Street fell
[01:58.06] And do you fear it again?
[02:02.37] Still there is one major difference
[02:04.81] In just how we see some things
[02:07.00] What you call poor we call prosperity
[02:12.43] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:17.37]
[02:18.31] Ooh! Sometimes, you know,
[02:19.87] I hunger for more than food,
[02:22.62] For more than the shelter
[02:24.37] From the cold monsoons
[02:26.99] I'd like swimmin' pools
[02:28.87] And refrigerated air
[02:31.37] And an extra room to spare
[02:33.06] （No more ten to a room）,
[02:35.56] And a thinking color set
[02:37.49] With a close-up zoom
[02:39.62] But in this country such as ours,
[02:42.18] If we had these things,
[02:43.93] We'd be a U.N. delegation
[02:46.31] Or a visiting queen
[02:52.68] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:57.82] Oh Living in Angola ...
