Openmic Week 41 - Original "Propagandaville"
Are you tired of Fake News too?
This is a parody I wrote with Jimmy Buffetts Margaritaville as the theme. No fancy guitar work here, just a creative look at the madness of our media, enjoy!
Lyrics below for you to follow.
Propagandaville
Living on Newsweek
Watching the stocks leap
All of those traders willing to buy
Interest rates rising, the economy's thriving
All of this bullshit just makes me cry
CHORUS
Wasted away again in propagandaville
Shaking my head at the latest military assault
Some people say that there's a Russian to blame
But I know it's the CIA's / Media's / Governments fault
Don't know the reason
They're not charged with treason
For lying, then crying and spreading fake news
The put on a beauty, she's got quite a booty
She's only there to get them more views
These crappy news networks
Are making my head hurt
Spreading lies of the global elite
Censorships spreading, like a Kardashian wedding
Head over to Steemit for the word on the street
Woop woop ! I really grew to like the delay on the vocals, it gave the feeling of an announcement , a truth announcement. There'd be a revolution overnight if this was announced on the streets...!
Way to go man, very cheery rendition of reality. 👍🏼
P.S . sorry it took a long time for me to get onto your posts, I have to listen out in public places with headphones because I've got bandwidth restrictions at home, can't stream!
Thank you kindly Brother, and no worries I know there is a lot of content on Steemit so I do appreciate you sharing your time with me.
Thanks again.
It's a clever line that one!
I'm surprised this isn't doing better. Steemit is weird too!
Thank you Brother
Nice deep meaningful song Brother B, making a difference with your musical talents!
Thank you Brother, you comments are always appreciated.
You're most welcome bro
That is one excellent parody my friend! I think Sir James Buffet would approve of it. 😉 Well thought out lyrics. Spot on.
Thank you Brother. I appreciate you taking a listen.
Clever re-write Bri !
Thank you Brother, gotta vent somehow.
I hear ya man... you're re-write lyrics are spot on!
HAHAHA!!!! Fantastic brother and awesomely done! Sooooo true! I think lots of people feel this way and think they can vote their way to change? Maybe that still holds true maybe not but it is time to clean out the rats and by that I mean rid ourselves of them. That doesn't mean they get to retire in Florida on stolen money playing golf like nothin' ever happened................ If only we could all get on the same page. Great song! Enjoyed.
You speak a lot of truth. Thanks for listening, it is really appreciated!
Hahaha dude this is awesome! Lyrical content is hauntingly accurate to this crazy world we currently live in. Propogandaville makes me want to take a trip to Margaritaville to drown it all out. Great parody!
Thank you Brother, if you make it to Margaritaville, call me. I'll come and drown it all out with you...and we can jam!
Hahaha for sure!
I think I like this version more haha. Awesome rendition. Hmmm. May have to cover a buffet song soon!
I'll be on standby by here waiting for the tfeldman version of a parrot head tune! I look forward to it.
This is great! I was singing along the whole time! Well done!
I was hoping that by using a familiar melody it would keep listeners engaged. Thank you Brother!
Excellent lyrics to a most popular song. Most truthful and revealing, you nailed it my Brother.
Lots of folks feel there is something just not right, but can't put their finger on it. So, I'm putting these lyrics in my lead sheet folder, ready for the next bbq or campfire jam. This is gonna be fun.
Wish I could be there! Also not sure why my votes are recorded as zero when up voting comments, my power is at 99.85%
Me too. What great jammin' fun we could have.
I dunno about the vote thingy, maybe a glitch
or votes got the hesitation blues- ala Dave Van Ronk. :)
