Welcome To Amerika (Hall of Mirrors) world premiere audio and video

January 8, 2019 · A Life In Song, Joe Mennonna Arrangements, Life In Song 2010's, New York City Songs, Political Songs, Videos

I’ve been working on this for a while. As 2019 arrived it seemed like it was more urgent to share this than ever. I’ve been exploring deep down the financial rabbit hole for 3 years now. My intention around mastering money is to finance my music and music video addiction. Please share, and if you want to support this stuff please download the audio track from https://bandcamp.com/markshepard/ ok? thanks. – Mark

Welcome to Amerika (Hall of Mirrors)
Song #564 | Edit2   | 9/9/18

[2 patterns] 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
“Welcome to Amerika!” (x4)

[2 patterns]

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 use to
go to die…
Welcome to Amerika (x4)

INSTRUMENTAL
[Joe on a blazing, smoky, bluesy, SAX? Horns?
10 patterns: 2 patterns for the “buffer” after the refrain and 8 more patterns for the solo?]

Kids in cages
Reality star in “charge”
While the “wisdom of the ages”
Can be googled from a car
All the world’s attention
Is the “wages” of his “war”

And the stooge on stage
Says HIS space brigade
Is the biggest one for sure…
Welcome To Amerika! (x4)

INSTRUMENTAL [10 patterns] Organ

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…
Welcome to Amerika 4x
[10 patterns vocal with my guitar line with G and J jamming?] Welcome to Amerika.
Welcome to Amerika. 4X

WELCOME TO AMERIKA!
