At the 1995-03-15 show, Flansburgh said of Piece of Dirt, "Here's a song that I was looking through the files about a year after we released the Lincoln album I found another set of lyrics that were really a lot better, so I suppressed them. And we're just going to have to deal with the traditional lyrics." The crowd then gave out a collective "aww."
An alternate verse of the song was included in Lincoln's liner notes and reads as follows: "Piece of dirt, I made it prettier today, piece of dirt, it was that or just complain."
