Steely Dan - Third World Man lyrics

rate me

Johnny's playroom

Is a bunker filled with sand

He's become a third world man

Smoky 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

Till the neighbors 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 guys

When he's crying out

I just sing that Ghana Rondo

E l'era del terzo mondo

He's a third world man
