Third World Man

Third World Man
Johnny è un ragazzo, ma la guerra lo ha costretto ad essere un UOMO del Terzo Mondo; è stato arruolato in un esercito. Non potrà più avere una stanza dei giochi come un bambino, ma la sua stanza dei giochi ora sarà un bunker. È costretto a mobilitarsi all'alba, a comando, ogni volta che gli viene ordinato di farlo - si accovaccia e striscia come un soldato per evitare di essere colpito; sotto il suo travestimento, il travestimento da soldato, rimane un ragazzino. Razzi e bombe come fuochi d'artificio - purtroppo è un uomo del terzo mondo. Le strade forse torneranno sicure, e torneranno gli occhi del ragazzo - ma ora per lui è l' "era del terzo mondo".
Johnny's playroom

The Man Don’t Give a Fuck

The Man Don’t Give a Fuck
(1996)
album: Out Spaced (1998)

The song, released twice as a single with the latter containing the most 'f'-words in any song ever, is based around a sample from the Steely Dan song, 'Show Biz Kids', and has been a regular set-closer for the band. Gruff Rhys, the lead singer, has described the song as a "protest song for our time", which can be used against "any organization which you feel is terrorising you as an individual, anyone who's cramping your style".
