New World Man - 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 

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 
Turned to factories and farms 
He's a writer and arranger 
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 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...
