Johnny's playroom
Is a bunker filled with sand
He's become a third world manSmoky Sunday
He's been mobilized since dawn
Now he's crouching on the lawn
He's a third world manSoon 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 manSoon 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 l'era del terzo mondo
He's a third world manHe's a third world manHe's a third world man
