    {Refrain
    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry no more

    Once I rose above the noise and confusion
    Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
    I was soaring ever higher
    But I flew too high

    Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
    Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
    I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
    I can hear them say

    {Refrain

    Masquerading as a man with a reason
    My charade is the event of the season
    And if I claim to be a wise man, well
    It surely means that I don't know

    On a stormy sea of moving emotion
    Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
    I set a course for winds of fortune
    But I hear the voices say

    {Refrain
    No!

    Carry on, you will always remember
    Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
    The center lights around your vanity
    But surely heaven waits for you

    Carry on my wayward son
    There'll be peace when you are done
    Lay your weary head to rest
    Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)

    They play guitars and stuff, and stand on their hind legs like a bunch or Rory Calhoons.

    He could be referring to the Foo Fighters version... it's unlikely (though not impossible) he's referring to Kansas' original ;)

    Carry On is a great song. Dream Theater covered in a meadly on a change of seasons. Great stuff. You can't beat Dust In the Wind though. Those two songs are essential piss up songs!!!
