He's a rebel and a runner, He's a signal turning green
He's a restless young romantic, Wants to run the big machine
He's got a problem with his poisons
But you know he'll find a cure
To keep his nature pure
Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man
Learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man
(D)
He's got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
He's old enough to know what's right
But young enough not to choose it
He's noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it
He's a New World Man
He's a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
He's got a problem with his power
With weapons on patrol
And keep his self-control
Trying to save the day for the Old World Man
Trying to pave the way for the Third World Man
(D)
He's not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He's noble enough to know what's right
But weak enough not to choose it
He's wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it
He's a New World Man
Learning to match the beat of the New World Man
He`s learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man
