Stereolab - Ping Pong


taken from their 1994 album Mars Audiac Quintet, this is quite possibly the only pop song to lay out in detail "one of the central tenets of Marxian economic analysis: prosperity leads to recession, and recessions are usually ended by the increased government spending that comes with a declared or undeclared war, which buoys the entire economy, starting the cycle all over again."
sounds about right, unfortunately.
