The album is a concept album about corrupt world leaders holding the rest of the world in slavery. It is a subject that Schaffer holds close to heart, as is shown on the band's website where there are links and references to literature dealing with the subject. Between some of the songs Schaffer quotes, among others, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Also, there are several speeches heard by various modern world leaders, including John F. Kennedy. Several different covers of the album exist.
