Slow Train

The words

A survey of greed, false leaders and moral drift, with a reckoning steadily drawing closer.

The singer looks around at his country and the wider world and does not like what he sees: greed, hollow preachers, leaders who serve themselves, and people who have traded conscience for comfort. Verse by verse the complaints pile up, some public and some personal, and each time the refrain points to something slow but unstoppable approaching. The tone is weary and stern, more warning than rage, carried by a patient, rolling groove that gives the album its name.
