Rush

Rush is a Canadian rock band formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. The band is composed of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist and backing vocalist Alex Lifeson, and drummer, percussionist and lyricist Neil Peart. The band and its membership went through a number of re-configurations between 1968 and 1974, achieving their iconic lineup when Peart replaced original drummer John Rutsey in July 1974, two weeks before the group's first United States tour. Rutsey's departure stemmed primarily from health concerns regarding his diabetes. In 2015 the band played their final show due to Peart's declining health. more »

A memo to a higher office
Open letter to the powers that be
To a God, a King, a head of state
A captain of industry
To the movers and the shakers
Can't everybody see? 

It ought to be second nature 
I mean, the places where we live
Let's talk about this sensibly 
We're not insensitive
I know progress has no patience 
But something's got to give 

I know you're different
You know I'm the same
We're both too busy
To be taking the blame

I'd like some changes
But you don't have the time
We can't go on thinking
It's a victimless crime

No one is blameless
But we're all without shame
We fight the fire 
While we're feeding the flames 

Folks have got to make choices 
And choices got to have voices
Folks are basically decent
Conventional wisdom would say

Well, we read about
The exceptions
In the papers every day 

It ought to be second nature 
At least, that's what I feel
"Now I lay me down in Dreamland" 
I know perfect's not for real
I thought we might get closer
But I'm ready to make a deal 

Today is different
And tomorrow the same
It's hard to take the world
The way that it came

Too many rapids
Keep us sweeping along
Too many captains
Keep on steering us wrong

It's hard to take the heat
It's hard to lay blame
To fight the fire 
While we're feeding the flames
