Tom Sawyer (Rush cover) 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
Mean mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist
Catch the myth
Catch the mystery
Catch the drift
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness
Catch the wit
Catch the spirit
Catch the spit
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to
The friction of the day

It's a good cover though. My parents are big Rush fans and actually said this version was good.
Well of course Rush sang this first but thats Elijah's favorite band(Elijah is the lead singer!)and it sounds way awsome when deadsy sings it!
I will say though, that Deadsy's drummer did a rather well job at keeping up with Neal Peartt's drumming on this song.
Note: This is a cover, originally from Rush
Duh? God, if you don't know who originally did this song, then you need lined up in front of a train, and ran down into a pile of simmering goo.
im a big rush fan and like you know it's definitly diffrent when you hear Getty Lee's voice singing it but i do give love to deadsy for keeping the progessive sound going
Yeah, they did. I sadly believe that they don't have the potential to do that solo, or even come up with one of their own. Don't get me wrong, I love Deadsy, but their guitar riffs are usually very simple and they never have solos, which I sorda' frown upon. Oh well, still love 'em.
who cares if they left out the solo? hell, i'm willing to wager i'm a bigger rush fan than any of you, but the solo to this song is completely wankariffic
It's definitely better than Mindless Self Indulgence's cover which just sucked.
Some of the lyrics are incorrect.
