"Do the wall street shuffle Hear the money rustle Watch the greenbacks tumble Feel the sterling crumble You need a yen to make a mark If you wanna make money You need the luck to make a buck If you wanna be getty, rothschild Youve gotta be cool on wall street Youve gotta be cool on wall street When your index is low Dow jones aint got time for the bums They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime But you aint got the time Doin the.... Doin the.... Oh, howard hughes Did your money make you better? Are you waiting for the hour When you can screw me? `cos youre big enough To do the wall street shuffle Let your money hustle Bet youd sell your mother You can buy another Doin the.... Doin the.... You buy and sell You wheel and deal But youre living on instinct You get a tip You follow it And you make a big killing On wall street"
Eleanor McEvoy has a number of lovely songs. Whisper a Prayer to the Moon is beautiful. Great lyric: If I had the powers/I'd give you the stars/the sun and the light/of the moon.
Dark Sun:The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb, by Richard Rhodes. discusses the nuclear arms race. Pretty freaking insane.

"Living in a hole
like a mole on the dole
is only one way to be
getting rich quick
with a really clever trick
is another way."
"Do the wall street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the sterling crumble
You need a yen to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be getty, rothschild
Youve gotta be cool on wall street
Youve gotta be cool on wall street
When your index is low
Dow jones aint got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you aint got the time
Doin the....

Oh, howard hughes
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
`cos youre big enough
To do the wall street shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet youd sell your mother
You can buy another
Doin the....
Doin the....
You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But youre living on instinct
You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing
On wall street"
Something to that effect.
I don't know. Depressions certainly make it harder to get, but if you want an inoculation, try being born poor in a third world country.
