[Rush cover]
|
|
A modern-day warrior
|
Mean mean stride,
|
Today's Tom Sawyer
|
Mean mean pride.
|
|
Though his mind is not for rent,
|
Don't put him down as arrogant.
|
His reserve, a quiet defense,
|
Riding out the day's events.
|
The river
|
|
And what you say about his company
|
Is what you say about society.
|
Catch the mist, catch the myth
|
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
|
|
The world is, the world is,
|
Love and life are deep,
|
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
|
|
Today's Tom Sawyer,
|
He gets high on you,
|
And the space he invades
|
He gets by on you.
|
|
No, his mind is not for rent
|
To any god or government.
|
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
|
He knows changes aren't permanent,
|
But change is.
|
|
And what you say about his company
|
Is what you say about society.
|
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
|
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
|
|
The world is, the world is,
|
Love and life are deep,
|
Maybe as his skies are wide.
|
|
Exit the warrior,
|
Today's Tom Sawyer,
|
He gets high on you,
|
And the energy you trade,
|
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
