Lyrics
0:01Tom Sawyer
0:03Rush
0:05A modern day warrior
0:07Mean mean stride
0:08Today's Tom Sawyer
0:09Mean mean pride
0:23Though his mind is not for rent
0:26Don't put him down as arrogant
0:28His reserve a quiet defense
0:31Riding out the day's events
0:34The river
0:52What you say about his company
0:55Is what you say about society
0:58Catch the mist catch the myth
1:00Catch the mystery catch the drift
1:11The world is the world is
1:14Love and life are deep
1:18Maybe as his skies are wide
1:28Today's Tom Sawyer
1:29He gets high on you
1:30And the space he invades
1:31He gets by on you
1:32No his mind is not for rent
2:43To any god or government
2:46Always hopeful yet discontent
2:51He knows changes aren't permanent
2:56But change is
3:13What you say about his company
3:15Is what you say about society
3:18Catch the witness catch the wit
3:21Catch the spirit catch the spit
3:32The world is the world is
3:34Love and life are deep
3:39Maybe as his eyes are wide
3:42Exit the warrior
3:48Today's Tom Sawyer
3:51He gets high on you
3:52And the energy you trade
3:54He gets right on to the friction of the day
Tom Sawyer 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
