Third World War

(Kris Kristofferson)



Where the young men's brave new visions

Threaten old men's selfish dreams

And they try to crush the spirit with their money and machines

And they call it communism because they don't know what it means

In the third world war (third world war)

Third world war (third world war.)



And the rich keep gettin' richer and as wrong as they are right

And the poor become the victims of the armies of the night

And the odds are never even and their skins are never white

In the third world war (third world war)

Third world war (third world war.)



Broken rules and dirty warriors spreadin' lies and secret funds

Can't defeat the Campesino with their money and their guns

'Cause he's fightin' for his future and his freedom and his sons

In the third world war (third world war)

Third world war (third world war...)
