Tom Sawyer

A modern day warrior, mean mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer, mean mean pride

And 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 gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you

And no, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
And always only 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
