    I'm told that "re-dux" is a buzz word that makes things sound more "hip".

    Story Behind the Song
    The motivation for the song was the Dainelle Van-Damme kidnaping/murder case. But I'm sure more or less could be read into it if one wanted.

    Lyrics
    A drink in my hand I sit here brooding
    About how my life could have been
    If I'd have just made different decisions

    I could have lived that life
    And had me a beautiful wife
    My next-door neighbors and their pristine life

    Their mini-van and two-car garage
    Life insurance and a pension with no creditors to dodge

    I envy them so much I would destroy myself - no
    Better yet destroy someone else!

    A mother sits alone crying
    Cryin' tears she never thought, she'd have to shed
    Maybe someday soon, she'll return
    Maybe my baby's not, yet, dead

    I could have lived that life
    With two kids and a beautiful wife
    My next-door neighbors and their pristine life
    I envy them so much I would destroy myself - no
    Better yet destroy someone else!

    The media so quick to judge
    Guilty as charged and then sentenced to life!
    Death penalty, the lynch mob agrees

    As the hate that began it all
    Continues to live and breath is us all


    So close your eyes;
    And shop it off.
    Out of sight;
    Is out of mind.
    Ignore it away;
    Sweep it under the carpet in dismay
    after all

    It's not going to happen
    No it just couldn't happen
    There's no way it would happen

    To me
