Anyway, if you’re going to be the new Rush, you need better lyrics than this. Try original Rush.

Rush-New World Man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQRShD0xuAk

He’s a rebel and a runner
He’s a signal turning green
He’s a restless young romantic
Wants to run the big machine

He’s got a problem with his poisons
But you know he’ll find a cure
He’s cleaning up the systems
To keep his nature pure

Learning to match the beat of the old-world man
Learning to catch the heat of the third-world man
He’s got to make his own mistakes
And learn to mend the mess he makes

He’s old enough to know what’s right
And young enough not to choose it
He’s noble enough to win the world
But weak enough to lose it
He’s a new-world man

He’s a radio receiver
Tuned to factories and farms
He’s a writer and ranger and a young boy bearing arms
He’s got a problem with his powers
His weapons on patrol

He’s got to walk a fine line
And keep his self-control
Trying to save the day for the old-world man
Trying to pave the way for the third-world man

He’s not concerned with yesterday
He knows constant change is here today
He’s noble enough to know what’s right
But weak enough not to choose it

He’s wise enough to win the world
But fool enough to lose it
He’s a new-world man
Learning to match the beat of the old-world man
He’s learning to catch the heat of the third-world man

He’s a new world man
He’s a new world man

That Signals album, for me, was when Rush started going off the rails.

Geddy Lee ditched his Rickenbacher and started playing that weird headless bass.

The whole vibe changed and I didn't like it.
