Tom Sawyer (Rio Live Album Version) - Rush

A modern day warrior

Mean mean stride

Todays 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 days 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

Todays tom sawyer

He get's high on you

And the space he invades

No his mind is not for rent

To any God or government

Always hopeful yet discontent

He knows changes arent 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

Todays tom sawyer

He get's high on you

And the energy you trade

He get's right on to the friction of the day
