I guess this is a song about people not listening? And more just accepting whatever they hear? Not to sure about the over all meaning, but the beginning about Pavlov refers to his training of dogs, the psychological experiment involving him training dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell because it suggests that food would follow. I do not know who the mister could be, maybe a priest of some type, due to the "rhetoric nonsense" that preachers often spit. I tried :/ |

I must agree with MrPryMinista about the second verse, it is surely about our government. "Institution on the Hill" is a play on John Winthrop's famous quote "City On The Hill" from one of his sermons in the early 1600's depicting the early Puritan colonies as a model for the rest of the world. Greg of course is referring to our country as a bunch of corrupt institutions, and MrPry really nailed it about us, the descendants, still finding it so odd when we find out that we're not the model country that we're made up to be. :] |
