God said, "Jonah, do me a favour
Tell the people in your city that they've been sinful
Selfish and greedy, cruel and heartless, thoughtless and ugly
Tell your people they need to be thinking 'bout something beside their own foolish pleasure
There's poor that need feeding and homeless need shelter
The week need protection, the laws need changing"
Jonah said, "Yes lord, I'll give 'em the message"
But in truth he was fearful and dreaded the outcome
For Jonah was well liked and quite well respected
He knew that this message would not be received well
So he put it off: "I'll tell 'em tomorrow
The people aren't ready for such harsh words"
But the lord grew angry, said "What gives here Jonah?
Go speak to your people" and Jonah said, "Yes lord"
But he just couldn't do it, he hadn't the courage
He shirked from his duty and fled from the lord's wrath
He booked him a passage on a see-going vessel
But the guilt he took with him weighed heavy upon him
And the lord rose a great storm which near sank the vessel
The Captain and crewmen looked over at Jonah
Said, "This man's done some great wrong for which he's being punished"
And with that they seized him and at once cast him over
And a great whale appeared as the lord had appointed
And swallowin' up Jonah dove deep in the ocean
For three days and three nights in it's cavernous gullet, poor Jonah floated in fish meat and brine
He awoke on the shore of some unknown country
It might have been America: I bet that it was
But somehow he got back to his beloved city and delivered the message as the lord had requested
Well, it worked out ok; no big repercussions
I don't think it helped much, least not in the long run
The city's still sinful, selfish and greedy
The poor still need food, the laws still need changing
But Jonah stood up and the word was delivered
I'm sure it wasn't easy but it had to be done
And he and the whale gave birth to a story that now rolls along with a life of it's own
Colorblind James Experience was an American alternative roots/pop/rock band. Bandleader and singer/songwriter/guitarist "Colorblind" James Charles Cuminale was originally from Rochester, New York, but assembled early versions of what would become the Experience in Oswego, New York, before relocating to San Francisco, California. After a couple years of mixed results there, the band regrouped and moved again, this time back to Rochester which remained its home base until Cuminale's premature death in 2001. The band enjoyed brief fame in the UK and Europe after BBC DJ John Peel gave the Experience some exposure. Their "Dance Critters" single reached number 10 on the UK Indie Chart, while their albums Colorblind James Experience and Why Should I Stand Up reached numbers 5 and 13 respectively.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
