Very interesting song. What is the background of these guys? No doubt they were raised as witnesses?

Hey mate. Just popping in. Meeting my ex-best friend who's still an elder on Friday for "lunch" and just want to check the latest JW crazy so I'm up-to-date. It should be fun and interesting. He knows I'm apostate and antitheist. Maybe he's starting to wake up...
Anyway, the story with this song is he (John Mann) was sitting home one day and witnesses came to his door. The little kid the songs about, was with his Dad and seemed extremely bored and not wanting to be there (surprise, surprise). When they left he couldn't stop thinking about how sad the kid looked so he wrote this song. Just struck me as funny that in the song the kids name is Kevin and apparently there's a new 'Kevin' class since I was last here :)

Amazing, the organization always says that they choose their words very carefully. There's got to be some awake ones in the writing department.
These are the lyrics to the song
Dragged in his fathers footsteps
Onto other people's doorsteps
To shoe-gaze through another afternoon
He's well turned out, his pants are pressed
He's dripping in his Sunday best
As the sun beats down in time to the sound
Of his father going on about the problems of the world
While Kevin stands uncounted at the door
Will Kevin get to heaven any soner?
Will father ever bother looking down?
When he sees the light
He sees the light
There must be empty chairs in the Kingdom hall
What with the summer holidays the flock is getting small
So he's marching 'round my neighbourhood
With a briefcase and a boy
But Kevin doesn't share the Soldier's Joy
I could see right through him
And the lawn was needing mowed
I closed the door and watched him turn to go
When he sees the light
He sees the light
He sees such light
I want him to change for me
