Lyrics of Tom Sawyer by Rush
verse
A modern day warrior, mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride
verse
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
verse
What you say about his company is
What you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
verse
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
verse
Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you
verse
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
verse
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
verse
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide
verse
Exit the warrior, today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you, the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day
Writer(s): Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, Alex Lifeson, Pye Dubois
