Intro
A mo dern-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 ri_ver
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about societ y.
Catch the mist, catch the my th
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are d eep,
Maybe as his eyes are wi de.
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 witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The w orld is, the world is,
Love and life are d eep,
Maybe as his eyes are wi de.
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.
