Story Behind The Song
This hard hittin modern, hardrock/retro sounding uptempo song came to me while driving in my car through the desert on my way to Las Vegas from my hometown in Southern Iowa.
I wanted to write a song that conjures up feelings of anger and makes you think!! The retro sounds and feel came from my absolute love of hard rock past, present and future.

Lyrics
VERSE 1:
SHOULD WE STARE AT THE SILVER DOOR UNTIL OUR CONSCIENCE LEAVES THE ROOM?
WHY SHOULD WE CARE? ANOTHER LIFE'S IN FEAR!! ROLL THE DICE AND LEAD THEM ON!!!
NOBODY TOLD YOU TO RUN FOR YOUR LIFE... AND HIDE
CHORUS:
YOU'LL BE EVERYBODYS WHIPPIN BOY
THE FIRST THAT THEY BLAME. THE FIRST THAT THEY RUN TO
YOU'LL BE EVERYBODYS WHIPPIN BOY
TOMORROW THEY BRING A SMILE WITH A GUN AT THERE SIDE
VERSE 2:
BREAK THE SILENCE. A TICKING CLOCK.
WAIT FOR TIME TO EASY THE PAIN.
SO WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
THE DIAMOND'S IN THEYRE EYES
SHINE SO CLEAR IT CUTS THE SUN!!!
CHORUS:
LEAD BREAK:
CHORUS:
VAMP:
