Third World Man

Steely Dan - Third World Man

Johnny's playroom

Is a bunker filled with sand

He's become a third world man

Smokey Sunday

He's been mobilized since dawn

Now he's crouching on the lawn

He's a third world man

Soon you'll throw down your disguise

We'll see behind those bright eyes

By and by

When the sidewalks are safe

For the little guy

I saw the fireworks

I believed that I was dreaming

'Til the neighbours came out screaming

He's a third world man

Soon you'll throw down your disguise

We'll see behind those bright eyes

By and by

When the sidewalks are safe

For the little guy

When he's crying out

I just sing that Ghana Rondo

E'lera del terzo mondo

He's a third world man

Soon you'll throw down your disguise

We'll see behind those bright eyes

By and by

When the sidewalks are safe

For the little guy
