The solution: Tune in, drop out, give up

Cracker, playing The State Theater in Falls Church tonight, has written the theme song for The Great Recession. A little Thoreau, a little Timothy Leary, a little black helicopter paranoia.

Come on, turn on, tune in, drop out, with me
Baby you need a break so lets just run away
Well I'm tired of coding perl, and I'm tired of VBA
Maggie throw your lawbooks away
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
Well we will find a little meadow high up in the Cascades
Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
The whole thing's coming down
So lets just get out of the way
