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
