Lyrics
The Third World
He didn't have a gun
He just had a Hammer
But when he raised his arms
The mighty did shudder
They would search for even pebbles to hide underneath
Now the strong would know the salt of defeat
Its another day gone wrong in the Third World
He didn't write a book
But he knew all the words
And when he told his story
"Glory" sang the proles
They would dance in their ghettoes
The dirt, rubble strreets
A carnival of blood disgrace and defeat
It's another day gone wrong in the Third World
Maximum Leader
His throne up in the sky
The Agent Propoganda
The Enemy Alive
His trigger happy blackguards
Feeling shadows in the rain
As he stifles the freedoms
He strove to attain
Its another day gone wrong in the Third World
Its another day gone wrong in the Third World
Its another day gone wrong in the Third World
its another day gone wrong in the Third World
