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
And 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 eyes 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.
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 skies 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.
**this song is a cover a RUSH**
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 eyes 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 skies 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.

Sick Rush cover, if for some reason you've never heard the original, this version is twice as fast and thats results in coolness.
Song is about Tom Sawyer and his ez going life style which is not influnced by god or goverment but hes not a retard....
the cover is an ingenius juxtapositon
Neat to hear. Doesn't top Rush, but rarely does a cover ever sound better then It's original.
Yaaa defff, In my opinion Tools cover of "No Quarter" is the best cover ive ever heard, Maynard n the guys took that song in a whole new direction (which i think you should if its a remake) and what they came up with is simply amazing. Butttt i do have to listen to MSI's cover of "bring the pain"

I happen to think it's a great cover......why?....just listen to Deadsy's cover of it......you'll kill yourself
The only way they could have done a worse job is if they turned this into a country song.
Agreed.
Justin - Bring the Pain. :P
^ now THAT, is agreed. and the bring the pain cover is actually better!
He did say rarely he didn't say never But yeah Bring the Pain is 200% better than Method Man's, but I agree with the majority this cover really isnt some of MSI's best work
