Who Do You Think You Are?

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Mickey Hart et al

One of the new lyrics written by Robert Hunter for the Rhythm Devils (Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzman) in 2006. Also played in a slightly different version by the Mickey Hart Band in 2011. Now released on Mickey Hart's album RAMU in another slightly different version

I don't want the face behind the mask
Of your disguise
I don't want your promises
I don't want your lies

I don't want your leadership
Your promises and lies
I don't want your anything
Hope you'll realise

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I don't want my children taught
Beside your empty school
I don't want your vengeance when
They break your crazy rules

They don't want your cheap rewards
Imitation jewels
I don't want the pleasure they
Seem to take in fools

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I don't think I need to know
Just who you think you are
Overheard a lot of things
Used to drive your car

Understand the people think
You're some kind of star
I don't want to beat your drum
Play on your guitar

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
One potato, two potato
Or three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore

Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
This is the version played by the Mickey Hart Band in 2011.
I don't want the face behind the mask
Of your disguise
I don't want your promises
I don't want your lies

I don't want your leadership
Your promises and lies
I don't want your anything
Hope you'll realise

I don't want my children taught
Beside your empty school
I don't want your vengeance when
They break your crazy rules

They don't want your cheap rewards
Your imitation jewels
I don't want the pleasure that you
Seem to take in fools

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I don't want the skeletons
You're [staring in the bath]
I don't want the bloody bones
That take you when you laugh

I don't want your [section]
I don't want your [wrap]
I don't want your [?]
[Official booby cat]

I don't think I need to know
Just who you think you are
Overheard a lot of things
Used to drive your car

Understand the people think
You're some kind of superstar
I don't want to beat your drum
Play on your guitar

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

I don't want the face behind the mask
Of your disguise
I don't want your promises
I don't want your lies

I don't want your leadership
Your promises and lies
I don't want your anything
Hope you'll realise

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My [kitchen] anymore

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
Laying out the spirits of
Hypocracy and war


Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
The version on RAMU is slightly different again. It has vocals by Tarriona "Tank" Ball:
I don't want the face behind the mask
Of your disguise
I don't want your promises
I don't want your lies

I don't want your leadership
Your politics likewise
I don't want your anything
Hope you'll realise

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore

I don't want my children taught
Inside your empty schools
I don't want your vengeance when
They break your crazy rules

They don't want your cheap rewards
Imitation jewels
I don't want the pleasure that they
Seem to take in fools

Who do you think you are
Think you are
Think you are

I don't think I need to know
Just who you think you are
I overheard a lot of things
I used to drive your car

I understand the people think
That you're some kind of star
I wouldn't want to beat your drum
Or lay on your guitar

One potato, two potato
Three potato, four
I don't want you hanging round
My kitchen anymore
Letting out the spirits of
Hypocracy and war
I don't want you creeping round
My ancient cellar door


Who do you think you are
Think you are
Think you are

Who do you think you are
Think you are
Think you are

Who do you think you are
Think you are
Think you are
