Description: A warning cry against the corruption of faith and the profiteers who preach for power instead of peace.

Dough Boy’s rollin’, tires so high,
A lift kit that’s reaching for the sky.
The pills didn’t work, no blue little dreams,
So he cranked the diesel, and made it scream.
A cloud of smoke with a thundering roar,
He ain't compensating, no, not anymore.

He’s got no steel, and the axles bend—
A floppy truth he can’t defend.

Dough Boy drives with a dough-soft dong,
Rollin’ coal like nothin’s wrong.
His shaft don’t rise, but the chassis might,
Suspension compensates each night.

At the corner shop, he revs that beast,
With a V8 roar, he's the freakin' priest.
Shifting gears, blowing clouds of despair,
But he ain’t slowing, he’s breathing the air.
It’s more than just horsepower and torque,
It’s a symbol of might when things just don’t work.

Revving blind through smoke and bluster,
He’s got the heat, but can’t muster.

Dough Boy thunders down the street,
A monument to his limp deceit.
His manhood's made of crescent dough,
And no amount of torque will grow.

When the sun sets low and the trucks all around,
He’s the loudest on the block, shaking the ground.
A man of the moment, but inside he's hollow,
His truck’s his pride, the one thing he can follow.
Dough Boy, with the rolling coal mist,
A myth of manhood he can’t resist.

He’s not upright, but still he climbs—
The only height is axle-timed.

Dough Boy, flaccid king of smoke,
With girthless pride and piston poke.
No blood will surge, but diesel might,
He hauls his shame in broad daylight.

Dough Boy’s still rolling, tires to the sky,
In his lifted dream, he’s still flying high...

Wolves in the Pulpit

Keith A. Wilkins — the mind behind Staying Alive — is a 75-year-old independent songwriter from Australia with a growing catalogue of 110+ original tracks. He doesn’t perform the songs himself, but he writes every line — blending protest, satire, resilience, and raw truth into bold musical stories that speak for the voiceless and challenge the mainstream.

From folk and outlaw country to acoustic rebellion and cheeky satire, Staying Alive is not about fame — it’s about survival, expression, and legacy. These songs are sung by others, but the story, the soul, and the sting come straight from Keith’s pen. More Songs here
