about

Mesmerica ⍨ originating in reference to the United States of America in the early decades of the twenty first century, when the ruling oligarchies which ran the now crumbling empire—not least by owning the mainstream media—employed the pundit elites to cast ‘we the people’ in the role of the deer caught in the headlights … as if mesmerized or hypnotized and unable to shake the collective self from the spell of endless economic growth, even whilst literally staring the Climate Emergency in the face … a manufactured but existing state of mass delusion

orig. a portmanteau of 'mesmerize'' after Franz Friedrich Anton Mesmer, and 'America' after Amerigo Vespucci.

— Wordell’s Dictionary - 2021

lyrics

MES-MERICA … MM-MM MESM-MER-RICA,
ONLY IN MESMERICA
DON’T YOU GO MESSIN WITH MESMERICA
DON’T ASK WHAT MES-MERICA … CAN DO FOR YOU
(MORE TO THE) POINT) IS, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
DO-DO-DO-DO-DO … DO MORE WITH LESS
(AND FOR LESS) PAY, BUY HEY IT’S OKAY
JUST DON’T GO MESSIN WITH THE BEST

THERE’S A BUCKETFUL OF MONEY TO BE MADE, IN MESMERICA
BUT NOT BY ME, AND CERTAINLY… NOT BY YOU
BUT IT’S GOOD, BUCKLE UP BUCKLE DOWN
IT’S OKAY, WE CAN BASK IN THE GLOW
RAINING DOWN ON ME, RAINING DOWN ON YOU
WELL NOT REALLY, BUT IT SURE FEEL LIKE IT DO,
COS MES-MERICA MEANS EXCEPTIONAL
LIVING THE DREAM IN THIS MM-MM-MM-MM- MOKCRACY

THERE’LL BE BLOOD … BUT IT’S ALL GOOD
ELEVATOR GOING UP ….
OOPS NOT INVITED … BUT IT’S OKAY
COS A MAN CAN DREAM … THE MESMER-ICAN DREAM

STACEY SINGER: Don’t you think that’s kind of the problem?
FRANK LEE: What Problem?
STACEY SINGER: Like a man can dream the dream but a woman’s not supposed to?
FRANK LEE: Oh that? Oh yeh I suppose?
STACEY SINGER: You suppose?
FRANK LEE: Well don’t look at me. I didn’t invent it
STACEY SINGER: But you play along with it
FRANK LEE: Honey … now Honey come on now …(whistling)
STACEY SINGER: Yeah! You can whistle for it!

SPECTACULOUS, MES-MIRACULOUS
MAL-FEAS-I-CULOUS, RAZZLE DAZZLE US, SLAP HAPPINESS


THERE’LL BE BLOOD … BUT IT’S ALL GOOD
AH THE GOOD OLD DAYS ….
BEFORE I-TUNES THERE WAS SHOW TUNES OH YEH
THE STARS OF SCREEN AND STAGE WERE ALL THE RAGE

(GIVE ME THAT)
SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY SHOW TUNE
FOR A SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY SHOE IN
A SHOOBY DOOBY GOODY TWO SHOES
TO BE SHOOBY DOOBY GOOD TO BE TRUE (x2)

SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY DOO WHAT YOU GONNA DO?
SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY DOO … MESMERICA
SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY DOO WHAT YOU GONNA DO?
SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY DOO … MESMERICA

(GOTTA BE THAT)
SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY SHOW TUNE
FOR A SHOOBY DOOBY DOOBY SHOE IN
A SHOOBY DOOBY GOODY TWO SHOES
TO BE SHOOBY DOOBY GOOD TO BE TRUE

WHAT YOU GONNA DO? WHAT YOU GONNA DO? WHAT YOU GONNA DO?
