Tom Sawyer

The Modern with the warrior The mean with the stride The Tom with the sawyer And the mean, mean, mean, mean pride. And though his mind is not for rent, Don't put him down as arrogant. His reserve, a quiet defence, Riding out the day's events. The river What you say about his company Is what you say about society. Catch the mist mist, catch the myth-myth Catch the mystery, catch the drift-drift. The world is the world is, Love and life are deep, Maybe as his eyes are wide. The Tom with the sawyer With the eye on the you, the space he invades He gets by by by by 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-wit, Catch the spirit, catch the spit-spit. The world is the world is, Love and life are deep, Maybe as his skies are wide. Exit the warrior, The Tom with the sawyer, The eye on the you, Energy trade Right on to, The friction of the day. --- Tom Sawyer - Mindless Self Indulgence
