The older I get, the sadder this song makes me. I have always thought "Third World Man" was about the kind of lone gunman nutcase who confuses his delusions for the world around him and eventually opens fire upon it, and with every passing day in America in the 21st century, I find myself thinking about this song and its lyrics more and more often.
They're an eerie, frustratingly accurate prediction of the kind of disturbed gun-wielding misfit Martin Scorsese predicted in Taxi Driver, and more and more of whom seem to be coming off of a conveyor belt in this difficult age.
