[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

I saw the fireworks

I believed that I was dreaming

Till the neighbors came out screaming

He's a third world man

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

When he's crying out

I just sing that Ghana Rondo

E l'era del terzo mondo

He's a third world man

[Outro]

He's a third world man

He's a third world man
