  • Rush : Tom Sawyer

  • Album : Moving Pictures Deluxe Edition

  • Year : 1981

  • Lyrics : Pye Dubois and Neil Peart

  • 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 defence

  • 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

  • And what you say about his company

  • Is what you say about society

  • - Catch the witless - 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

  • The energy you trade

  • He gets right on to

  • The friction of the day
