I feel sorry for the people, way over in Angola today
I feel sorry for the people whoo, way over in Angola today
Cause there's millions of people, ain't got no place to stay

Everybody want their country
they wanna take everything away
Everybody want their country
they wanna take everything away
Because the poor Angolan people
didn't have no help no way

Three hundred years, Angolan people has been a slave
Three hundred years whoo
Angolan people has been a slave
Nobody worryin', nobody helpin' no way

Soon as they got independent
people wanna take the land away
Soon as the Angolan got their independence
those dirty people wanna take it away
They don't wanna see you happy
they don't wanna see you have your way

Well I don't know why, people wanna live that way
I don't know why, people wanna live that way
Cause people wanna have a country
and somebody wanna take it away

Russia and Cuba walked in, say I'll give you a helpin' hand
Russia and Cuba walked in
say people let me give you a hand
Cause we done got tired, people takin' away your land

Rhodesia and South Africa, one day gonna see the same
One day Rhodesia and South Africa
they both gonna see the same
They will understand, be able to shake hand
with a black man
