Tom Sawyer 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

 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
