@PCS153 I realize this is an old comment, but Neil gave up the Objectivist philosophy long before Snakes and Arrows. The arc of his lyrics and world view evolved greatly as he gained life experience, and Neil described himself as a left wing libertarian, not a right-wing one, which is what Rand represented. This song is openly anti-Objectivist. Yes, Neil was inspired by Rand early, and then he grew up.

One adendum for any who didn't know much of Rush's music is inspired by the works and philosphy of Ayn Rand.
