Medley I: YYZ / Temples of Syrinx / Tom Sawyer Songtext
von Rush

We′ve taken care of everything
The words you read
The songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes

It's one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why

We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls

Look at this world we′ve made
Equality, our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of man

Oh, what a nice contended world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand


We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within these walls

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 do 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
