What Song Best Sums Up The World’s Current Troubled State?

The Guardian music blog brings together two topics that are close to my heart with an open thread asking for songs that sum up the current global economic situation, inspired by a British developer quoting “All Along The Watchtower” while talking about the state of the UK’s commercial property market. The Guardian critics’ picks include Prince’s “Money Don’t Matter 2 Night,” Roger Miller’s “King Of The Road,” and a Rage Against the Machine track; I have my own nominee, perhaps inspired by my reading of this blog as a post-work “wind down” on a regular basis. What’s yours? [Guardian]
