NSFW Skirmish: 'Who Ate the Last Piece o... (@ragbag)

Liner Notes

#skirmish #humblepie #electric Woke up and saw the skirmish, started writing a lyric... in between making breakfast, etc. did up this lyric, then figured I'd get the 'real' recording equipment and do a quick pass at it- playing some electric guitar for a change

edit- did a further background vocal overdub on the chorus, and raised the guitar solo in the mix...enjoy!

Lyrics

Who ate the very last piece of humble pie Who covered up the last piece of clear blue sky Who marked the price of a dozen eggs to 30 bucks Who took it all for himself and doesn’t give a fuck

Who stole all our dreams from the public square Who politicized everything, even prayer Who lowered the IQ of future generations Who made every situation worse, yeah, fuckin congratulations

You know who…

Who took a beautiful garden, ripped up all the plants Who heard the cosmic music, and refused to dance Who tempted fate and brought down the wrath of the gods of old Who took the warmth of love and compassion and turned it cold

Who took the will of the people and twisted it around Who screamed lies so loud that became the only sound Who sucks the life out of everything even this song Who in the end will historians say was totally wrong

You know who…

good title (if misspelled) clever lyric and such an easy to listen with that great guitar drive, excellent change up!

Strong lyric and Yes, We Know Who. The music rolls along nicely which allows the vocal delivery of your subtle questioning but incisive lyric to shine.

I also Really Like the way you sing the simple Chorus... it really stands out.

Delightful. And the chorus, "You know who. . . " is perfect, because of course we know who! And I just love how you sing that part. Nuff said. Oooh nice guitar solo to end it. There are just too many good lines to point any one out, but I will say that I appreciate that your lyrics are pretty poetic while being true AND funny. So this song is a win-win-win in my book! my favorite of yours so far!

Love the use of electric guitar here and the harmonies. Your observations are biting and clever. Now, if only I know who they could be about? 😀

Some great lyrics in this, my favorite being, who politicized everything, even prayer, who made every situation worse, yeah, fuckin congratulations and who screamed lies so loud that became the only sound - funny and terrifying at the same time. Electric guitar solo is fab

The melody feels great like warm syrup poured over my head, and the generous fucks are like the warm pat of syrup 😄

Hey! I know who this is about. My song is also about him ;-) Funny bittersweet take on it. The sound is well choosen. Sounds a bit as a protest song. This is great!

i like your electric guitar playing, but really all the ills in the world cannot be blamed on one entity, for example, More than 35 million birds have been killed in response to bird flu outbreaks in commercial flocks this year, according to USDA data. The bird culling has caused the average price for a dozen eggs in the US to hit $5 in January, a 53% increase from 2024 - and the USDA said prices could rise an additional 41%

The simple chorus in this was very effective - I like your guitar playing. You have some humourous lyrics in there - I particularly liked last verse. Spot on assessment of the situation. It is hardly surprising that so many of us went in this direction with the prompt really. It's very much the zeitgeist. This was really well done. :-)

Thanks for your comment on my skirmish piece. Yes, it seems to be an ongoing theme. I'm keeping it more general, as there are so many powerhungry people in power right now, though most of them aren't as stupid or crazy. But that aside. Great song, great lyrics and music.

I think anything to do with humble would make him throw up. Somehow I think if he knew how many songs on this site were about him --mocking ones--he'd find a way to brag about it.

Well well, looks like you and I wrote about the same guy...although yours is less vague than mine! Love the who upped the price of eggs to 30 bucks...I like the feel of this on electric guitar!
