[Verse]

N.C. ( E )
A modern-day warrior
N.C. ( E )
Mean mean stride,
N.C. ( E )
Today's Tom Sawyer
N.C. ( E )
Mean mean pride.

  The world is

Maybe as his e

[Verse]

   
  No, his mind

 is not for re

nt

  To any god o

r government.

  Always hopef

ul, yet discon

tent,

  He knows cha

nges aren't pe

rmanent,
      
          But 

 
change is.

Catch the witn

 wit,
          
Catch the spir

         
it, catch the

[C-Part]

             
  The world is

Love and life

Maybe as his s

        
kies are wide.

[Verse]

N.C. ( E )
Exit the warrior,
N.C. ( E )
Today's Tom Sawyer,
N.C. ( E )
He gets high on you,
N.C. ( E )
And the energy you trade,
N.C. ( E )
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
