New World Man Lyrics By Rush

    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 his systems
    to keep his nature pure

    pre
    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
    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 a writer and a ranger
    and a young boy bearing arms
    he’s got a problem with his power
    with weapons on patrol
    he’s got to walk a fine line
    and keep his selfcontrol

    pre
    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 x
