This is tongue in cheek of course. I just lost my job of 11 years due to this whirlpool of an economy. Everywhere I go, I see signs of uncertainty and fear. This being Halloween, I was thinking of throwing a "panic party" to get the demons out. What kind of New Wave gems would best set the mood for said event?

Sorted by subject (with lyrics!)

Our economy sucks:

Private Domain - Don't Need That Much
("You'll never see me hang my head to cry / Because the stock market just took a dive")

Big Audio Dynamite - The Bottom Line
("A dance to the tune of economic decline")

Job prospects are bleak:

Billy Bragg - To Have and To Have Not
("Qualifications once the Golden Rule / Are now just pieces of paper")

XTC - Earn Enough for Us
("Im just praying by the weekend / I can earn enough for us")

The greediness of corporations:

Max Q - Way of the World
("And the corporate snakes coming in to feed / On that pathetic fact known as human greed")

Depeche Mode - Everything Counts
("The grabbing hands / grab all they can")

Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine
("And the company takes what the company wants")

Killing Joke - America
("Where everybody has got their price / They'll sustain our way of life")

We realize that our economy structured on debt/credit doesn't work:

Living Colour - Type
("This is the time when the lie is revealed / Everything is possible, but nothing is real")

And as the housing market crashes:

Talking Heads - (Nothing But) Flowers
("This used to be real estate / Now it's only fields and trees.")
