2 TUFF 2 CRY

Seems like there's nothing left to do
But get started on getting over you
It might take a little time
But I know I'm gonna be alright
Still have the rest of my life
If I can only get through tonight

Frozen tears in the corner of my eye
I'm too tough to cry
I'm only being quiet 'cause there's something on my mind
I'm too tough to cry
Too tough
Too tough
I'm too tough to cry

Hard to admit it, but it's true
That what we used to have is through
It might take a little time
I gotta get that through my mind
but everything's gonna be alright
If I can only get through tonight

People naturally follow, conform the majority, and this has allowed us to evolve and survive together as a species.  Throughout history it has also made groups of people vulnerable to totalitarian rule that tends to help the ruling class more than the people, when the people are complacent and don't realize their position until it is too late.  While there may be some parallels to governments in the world today, this song is inspired by this "cost of complacency" throughout history rather than any specific events today.

Lyrics:
Verse 1
No time being patient
It takes too long
rewrite history

You shall be programmed
And truth dictated
Don’t ask any questions

Chorus
(backing chorus)
Fill your mind
Or it will be filled for you
It’s the cost of complacency
And mindless conformity

Open your mind
And open your eyes
Get your head out of your ass
Avoid the cost of complacency

(over chorus)
Control what they see
Control what they read
The masses will conform
and shutdown the opposition

Each has their own truth
In their own reality
The war has started
Better run for your life (2nd time only)

Verse 2
Sides are assigned
believe as you’re told
Oppose and be censored

pawns are suppressed
Divided and conquered
Blindly fighting the war

[Chorus]

Cost of complacency

Melodic instrumental rock music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.

Growing up in the 80’s, Rich bought a used $15 guitar after the death of his parents at age 17 and began to learn.

Faking Stevie Ray Vaughan on the cheap guitar, Rich literally played until his fingers bled. A year later with his first electric he was cutting his teeth on Van Halen’s Eruption and the shredders of Shrapnel Records. This led to his first band while earning a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Va Tech. After graduation, the shock of “real life” motivated a visit to Musicians Institute in LA with the hopes of attending but the cost and a younger brother to care for proved too much.

Returning to VA, Rich worked as an engineer by day and played at night. In 1987, Joe Satriani's “Surfing with the Alien” changed the landscape and motivated Rich to self record and release “Was It Good For You Too?” in 1991 and the eponymous CD for his band “Red Handed” in 1994.

After a 10 year break from playing in 1998 to marry and start a family, a Father’s Day gift to Rock Fantasy Camp in 2008 provided inspiration to play again.

Rich is back doing what he loves. Playing guitar, writing, and recording “songs without words” in the hopes of sharing guitar music you don’t have to be a guitarist to appreciate.
