Who Are You
Liner Notes
#titlechallenge #acousticrock #acousticonetake #dogs
Given the challenge to reuse a title from 50/90, I chose “Who Are You” (title from a song by @rocketgrrrl https://fiftyninety.fawm.org/songs/300843) with the goal of a singalong chorus also suitable for barking. That gave me this revolutionary song about some ill-defined part of the old order that comes crashing down.
Lyrics
Who are you to come around here
Chipping at our ivory tower
We waited years to get our feet in the door
And you’ve been here for what half an hour
It takes lifetimes
To learn to do what we do
So who are you
Who are you asking for changes
In things that you have only just found
Chipping away at the walls and the gates
That protect this hallowed ground
It all goes to pieces
If the unwashed masses come through
So who are you
And all the dogs sing
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who
Who are you giving advice
And your evacuation plans
Saying you want us to be safe
Honestly there isn’t a chance
A more likely thing
Is a lightning bolt from out of the blue
So who are you
And all the dogs sing
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who who
Who do you think you are
Who who who who
Who are you
