Rush drummer Neil Peart wrote the lyrics about how his generation started off great – concerned with peace and love – but in the end the ended far off: “It’s a far cry from the world we thought we’d inherit.” It also talks about the homeless and dependency on electronics.
Far Cry Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pariah dogs and wandering madmen
Barking at strangers and speaking in tongues
The ebb and flow of tidal fortune
Electrical changes are charging up the young
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
It's a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
[Chorus]
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
[Verse 2]
Whirlwind life of faith and betrayal
Rise in anger, fall back, and repeat
Slow degrees on the dark horizon
Full moon rising lays silver at your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
It's a far cry from the way we thought we would share it
You can almost feel the current flowing
You can almost see the circuits blowing
[Chorus]
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a far cry from the world we thought we would inherit
You can almost see the circle growing
You can almost feel the planets glowing
[Chorus]
One day I feel I'm on top of the world
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
One day I feel I'm ahead of the wheel
And the next it's rolling over me
I can get back on
I can get back on
[Outro]
One day I fly through a crack in the sky
And the next it's falling in on me
I can get back on
I can get back on
I can get back on
I can get back on
