Tom Sawyer Lyrics

Tom Sawyer Lyrics
by Rush

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
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

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

What the heck were they talking about?

Didnt this come out in the eighties? If it did I can only say that most 80's lyrics made no sense. Not saying thats a bad thing for I like 80's music but it is a truth.

Best 80's lyrics ever:

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship up to the shore
And throw away the oars... forever

And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl apon the floor
Come crashin' through the door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore

Not bad enough? Try these:

I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreamin' of
We'll live forever
Goin' together
And we did it all for the glory of love
