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 »

It is the fire that lights itself
But it burns with a restless flame
The arrow on a moving target
The archer must be sure of his aim 

It is the engine that drives itself
But it chooses the uphill climb
A bearing on magnetic north
Growing farther away all the time
Can't stop - moving
Can't stop - moving
Can't stop 

You may be right
It's all a waste of time
I guess that's just a chance
I'm prepared to take
A danger I'm prepared to face
Cut to the chase

It is the rocket that ignites itself
And launches its way to the stars
A driver on a busy freeway
Racing the oblivious cars 

It's the motor of the western world
Spinning off to every extreme
Pure as a lover's desire
Evil as a murderer's dream 

Young enough not to care too much
About the way things used to be
I'm young enough to remember the future
The past has no claim on me 

I'm old enough not to care too much
About what you think of me
But I'm young enough to remember the future
And the way things ought to be 

What kind of difference
Can on person make?
Cut to the chase
