about

Compliance is a funny thing. We are expected to comply if we are to get along in this world. Jonah is a coward because all he thinks about is complying. He is fearful that he will not be seen as a one who is complying Every part of his life is consumed with the idea of compliance. Until Jonah loses himself. Don't let this happen to you.

lyrics

This contact of division reminds me of relations
Who laugh and spoil you rotten because they feel they have to
Our Jonah made a contact uncertain up the ladder
Be careful don’t you stumble the higher that you travel
Here stands your only father – the founder of the nation
Reserves unfailing power to terminate the pressure
To work and earn our paper – Our Jonah’s made a contact

This reminds me of Gulliver tied down by those effeminate
The product of the system induces hibernation
Our Jonah made a contact; the wailing of the banshee
Is there to serve you warning of approaching death in the family
No violence can entomb you – uninvolved now lest I slumber
This order has a number – out of our heads call the doctor
Will free them from the animal – Our Jonah makes a contact

The power of division has been known to be the problem
Of aggression of a nation; return to who you are
Our Jonah made a contact; now you should file your comeback
We’re supporting our obsession – we’re designing motivation
All life and death surround you – I would not ever blame you
This order has a number and in our heart we have the doctor
Let it burn out of control – Our Jonah makes a contact
