about

Written for Mr Phil Schneider, Patriot and Hero.

Much of this lyric is exactly what Phil said in his lectures.
He did shoot his bloody mouth off and he was silenced.

I released an early version of this song on Youtube some years back.
I have added real drums and bass to the original version.

I discovered Phil Schneider’s story around 2006 and was instantly intrigued by the outrageous claims of this self-taught geologist and explosives expert. I watched every video I could find on this whistle-blower, read transcripts of every interview he had given and followed threads written by his friends and former wife, Cynthia Drayer.

He struck me as being absolutely authentic, which left an uncomfortable space. Who were the Greys and what was Dulce? Cliche it may be, but like Neo in the Matrix, I had taken the red pill and there was no going back to my former paradigm.

I had my own experiences of inter-dimensionals and otherness since childhood, but Schneider's story was threatening and compelling.

Schneider has become quite well known courtesy of Youtube and there are a couple of documentaries about him now. Back in the nineties he was lecturing at small gatherings of people interested in the UFO phenomenon and luckily some of these lectures were filmed.

Mostly he talked about the Dulce Battle of 1979 and his part in that debacle. Dulce is an underground facility that supposedly had been taken over by the Greys, the race from Zeta Reticuli who had done a deal known as the Grenada Treaty with Eisenhower in 1954.

lyrics

Disillusioned Patriot. Meryl Leppard c. 2010.

Mr Philip Schneider
Was a government geologist
A family man with quite a tale to tell
A serious inventor
Dabbler in alchemy
Folks on NASA hill knew him well
Sometime in the nineties he went rogue
Cause he was broken
He stood upon a podium and said

"I'm a disillusioned Patriot
And I'll shoot my bloody mouth off
Telling you good people what I've seen
I love my country
More than life itself
So I'll shoot my bloody mouth off
Confessing where I've been."

Mr Philip Schneider
Worked in Military bases
Like Dulce, New Mexico
Incredible as it may seem
Some of them are two miles deep
And harbour secrets you don't wanna know
I'm not a scholar
And I'm not brave like Philip
But I sure paid attention when he said

"Here I stand before you
I'm a Disillusioned Patriot
A veteran of wars I did not start
I've been poisoned
I've been shot at
And my precious family threatened
I'm a Disillusioned Patriot
And it really hurts my heart

I have been blessed to travel
Around the world people
No other country can compare
Lincoln and the Fathers
Must be turning in their graves
About America
What's happened to America?"

Mr Philip Schneider
Was a man of some integrity
And every battered dog will have it's day
Before he died
He warned they would
Subvert the Constitution
Of this lovely land
The good ole USA
No-one's gonna tell us
What's been flying out of Dreamland
But Philip got me thinking when he said

"I'm a Disillusioned Patriot
And I'll shoot my bloody mouth off
Telling you good people where I've been
I love my country
More than life itself
So I'll shoot my bloody mouth off
Confessing where I've been."

Where you been fella?
Where you been?
Tell us where you've been.
