Who knew?

Skirmish: Who Knew? (@powerstars)Liner Notes
No wanna be authoritarian figures have been named. Any reference you see to any person living or dead is purely coincidental. This was a bit of a challenge. It's early in morning here and I just spotted this one with twenty minutes to spare, but here goes
Lyrics
So you're a psychopath Who knew? So you’re a narcissist too Who knew ? I think we all did You didn't try to keep it hidden We knew
Naming everything after yourself Did you think you might forget? Letters even bigger than your head Never an ounce of regret
So you're a psychopath And a sociopath Who knew? So you’re a narcissist too Who knew ? So you cheat on your taxes, allegedly A string of affairs Who knew? I think we all did You didn't try to keep it hidden We knew

the whispered "we knew" is so pointed! I think we ALL know who this is about ;)
Great delivery!! Listening...id dawned on me and I laughed out loud. Very clever. I have no idea who you are singing about (ppffssst)... Great work.
Cool guitar tone and muted strings I think - great sound. It leaves great space when you pause since it is not ringing out. Just read the liner notes - what an awesome take on the prompt. Love how you kept coming back to "we knew" - so effective. Great vocals and phrasing - the message comes through loud and clear. Great skirmish!!
Hmmm, I wonder who you could POSSIBLY be singing about? I just don't know. Let me think....
Nice write on the topic.
What a good take on this prompt Gordon! I love your quaint lyricism here
So good. Great skirmish. Cheers!
