New World Man

Lyrics

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  
He's cleaning up the systems  
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  
  
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  
And 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 a writer and ranger and a young boy bearing arms  
He's got a problem with his powers  
His weapons on patrol  
He's got to walk a fine line  
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  
  
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 old world man  
He's learning to catch the heat of the third world man  
  
He's a new world man [Repeat x 3]
