I think the lyric is "little man's weak AS big man's strong". This gives the song a very insightful message...the little man is as weak as the big man is strong...BY COMPARISON. In other words, the stonger the big man gets the weaker the little man becomes. Thus, the little man is also motivated to become King Kong. Davies is explaining the arms race...why small countries are desperately trying to get nuclear arms and big countries are trying to keep them from doing so. Since "everbody wants power" the race will just continue...it's human nature to strive for power, wether you are currently big or small.
