about

Ultimatum:
The first and last song to be recorded in this batch. I started out on fire, and the lead guitar was tracked...literally minutes before the release of the collection....I needed an early sounding "Who" sounding track in my life, I was due. (um, doesn't everyone think like that?) Disclaimer: This makes no formal declaration on right and wrong about anything (and it could) that will have to come from you young squier! Simply trying to channel early Townsend with the double tracked 12-string electric lead guitar! A chore of a part for what it is. I actually couldn't play the drum part with the kick drum kicking the whole time, so I used a pad on my drum machine...can you tell?

I was thinking of the Motorhead legend; Lemmy as well....for some reason...hoping he is drifting in the ether happily.

lyrics

Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong"
And who gives the ultimatum?
who holds the beam of light
and who threw the ole' Tomato!?
that was rotting off the vine?

Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong?

And who gives the ultimatum?
Is it someone out of sight?
And are you an automaton!?
Exist or fight or flight?
Who do you think is right?
Who do you think is wrong?

Black or white?
Left or right?
Ultimatum!
Suck or bite?
Loose or tight?
Ultimatum!!
Quattro..tres... dos ....uno!

And who gives the ultimatum?
Learn or damned from mistakes!
Is time relative in me
To all the love I shake and bake!?
who do you think is right?
and Who do you think is wrong?!

who the hell is wrong?
who is bloody right?
Who's got it wrong
who is flunking right
who is flunking wrong?
WRONG!!!!
