1974, the earth exploded into war
Like nothing ever seen before
Lands were crumbling into dust
And nothing that had been was left untouched

1975, those of us left alive
Were trying our hardest to survive
All the politicians died
Where was left of those that really mattered?

Third world
Third world
Third world

1976, the meaning of the crucifix
Was set aside politics
Earth returned to spiritual ways
And so we started thinking about the future

1977, we were trying to live our lives
As written by the laws of heaven
Raising up our young with love
And living off the land as was intended

Third world
Third world
Third world

1978, we told the world emancipate
Usual vibes to generate
The kind of feeling that was lost
When man forgot the reason for existence

1979, the third world chanters were defined
In which each human was assigned
The right to live as he would choose
The only one he answer to is God

Third world
Third world
