Artist/Band: Rush
Lyrics for Song: Tom Sawyer
Lyrics for Album: Time Stand Still: The Collection [2010]



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



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 skies are wide



Today's Tom Sawyer

He gets high on you

In the space he invades

He gets by on you



Though 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 eyes 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
