I feel sorry for the people, way over in Angola today
I feel sorry for the people whooo, 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 whooo, 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
