A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Todays tom sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent,
Dont put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the days events.
The river

And 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 eyes are wide.

Todays 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 arent permanent,
But change is.

And 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 skies are wide.

Exit the warrior,
Todays tom sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.

1. Wait...Rush?
Maybe were Kerry Von Erich still alive we could've elected him, eh? I mean, he DID beat Ric Flair AND he was the "modern day warrior" or something.

4. Piss off, freeper.
:rofl: That this is in GD: P.

Von Erich had family tragedy out the ass. Combined with drug problems, he was a prime candidate for an unfortunate demise.

Flair had many great years, but towards the last decade he had what, 3 moves?

Flair WAS great, Von Erich is and always will be great.

Stylin' and profilin' ain't got nothing on Denton, TX.

6. im not slamming von erich
he came from a great family of pro's
flair has had family trouble too
remember his failed affairs with miss hancock
and the sexual harrassment
his sons wrestling carreer
now i will admit he brought on his family tragedies but does that lessen them as to tragicness?
i say no
that flair continued to compete until his mid 60's is a yestament to his superhuman greatness

freeper huh?how are things going over at capitol hill forum lately troll?
