I initially thought Peart wrote those lyrics, and I'm still not convinced he didn't. But Lee and Lifeson are credited with them. I am almost positive Lee and Lifeson stopped writing lyrics after the first two albums.
Regardless, the lyrics are perfect in this case.
Another lyric from Rush is also appropriate regarding their ultimate goal. It's from The Trees:
Awesome song, awesome band....rip Neil Peart. Another incredibly relevant song to today if you want to talk in lyrics- The Cult of Personality by Living Color. "I exploit you, still you love me....I'll tell you one and one make 3. I'm every person, you need me to be....I'm. The. Cult. Of. Personality"

Now there's no more rogue oppression
For they passed a noble law
Now the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet, axe, and saw.

Now I'll have that darn song in my head all day. I'm humming it while I'm trying this. Thanks Glen! Good post!
