Song lyrics
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

What hey..didn't rate or comment?

Anyway, awesome Rush songs on so many levels

One of the best bands of all time no doubt.
Better than any s*** today, technically and sound, and this was made 20+ years ago.
