about

This song is the result of diving deep down the rabbit hole of "learning about money" which was motivated by my continual attempts at earning enough of it so I can continue to record and share my hundreds of unreleased songs.

In 2007-2008 I was clobbered and rendered homeless by an economy that I wasn't really paying attention to.

All the same problems remain in 2019 but they are exponentially BIGGER.

Music helps me to deal with stuff I have a hard time dealing with.

I hope this song helps you too.

Joe Mennonna as usual created a stunning arrangement that I can't stop listening to.

Thank you to Joe and to all the alternative media creators who have been calling us to "Wake up!" to the shenanigans of Central Bankster Cartels around the world.

lyrics

Welcome to Amerika (Hall of Mirrors)
Song #564 | 2018 | released 1/8/2019

It's a hall of mirrors
In a house of cards
On a debt end street
Pink flamingo yards
It's a scam of schemes
in a blur of memes
On a hill of has beens
Green screen scenes
And twitter streams that scream

Refrain:
"Welcome to Amerika!
Welcome to Amerika!"

Smart devices
Bankers out on bail
Chronic credit crises
Too big to fail
Corporate cronies
Buy low sell high
It's a babble of bubbles
And We're deep in trouble
Where dreams didn't used to go to die!

Refrain:
Welcome to Amerika
Welcome to Amerika

kKds in cages
Reality star in charge
While the wisdom of the ages
Can be Googled from your car
All the world's attention
Is the wages of his war
And the stooge on stage says
"The space brigade is the biggest one for sure"

Refrain:
Welcome To Amerika!
Welcome to Amerika!

It's a hall of mirrors
In a house of cards
On a debt end street
Pink flamingo yards
It's a scam of schemes
in a blur of memes
That nobody reads
and where we desperately need
comedians in our cars!

Refrain:
Welcome to Amerika
Welcome to Amerika
Welcome to Amerika
Welcome to Amerika...

about

Mark Shepard Albany, New York

Welcome to my “Life In Song” project.

Since 1976, I’ve been obsessively and compulsively writing songs. Some of them are inspired by my own life, my attempts to understand love, life, spirituality, peace and justice.

While I recently have started to get a little recognition, you’ve probably never heard my songs ANYWHERE.

But now you can hear them... here... Download. Share. Thanks!
