Of all their songs this is probably my favorite. Even more so than "Tom Sawyer" or "2112".

"It's a far cry from the world we thought we'd inherit, It's a far cry from the way we thought we'd share it, You can almost feel the current flowing, You can almost see the circuits blowing, 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"

An amazing song off their latest album. After 40+ years they're showing no signs of slowing down.
