Apt song lyrics for financial crisis

I was listening to the radio and heard chris rea road to hell part 2.Heres a part of the lyrics.

"And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just pieces of paper flying away from you
Oh look out world, take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell"

Anyone else know some apt songs?
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

    These lyrics of the poet Robert Frost are now often used in times like this:

    Some say the world will end in fire,
    Some say in ice.
    From what I've tasted of desire
    I hold with those who favor fire.
    But if it had to perish twice,
    I think I know enough of hate
    To say that for destruction ice
    Is also great
    And would suffice.

    They come from the rationally unknowable state of modern physics and seem applicable to most crises we face...
