D
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

F
He's got a problem with his poisons
But you know he'll find a cure
He's cleaning up his systems
                    D
To keep his nature pure

F                     A#                     Gm
Learning to match the beat of the Old World Man
F                     A#                       Gm
Learning to catch the heat of the Third World Man

Chorus:
D
He's got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes
     F              A#
He's old enough to know what's right
    Gm
But young enough not to choose it
      F               A#
He's noble enough to win the world
     Gm
But weak enough to lose it
        D           C  G  D
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 self-control

Trying to save the day for the Old World Man
Trying to pave the way for the Third World Man

Chorus:
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
He's a New World Man
