I was practicing scales on my guitar one day and stumbled across this song. The Chorus came pretty quickly. Originally I was going to do instrumental verses with news in the background but the guys in my band thought that would be tough to duplicate on stage. So after fretting for two weeks over how to tell my story I finally came up with the verses. I hope on of the guys in the band can sing them because I just don't feel like I can do them justice as I don't sing in a rap style.
