End of the World REM?
Or this...
Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast,
The Beatles' new record's a gas
And the only safe place to live is
On an indian reservation
And the band played on
Eve of destruction, tax deduction
City inspectors, bill collectors
Mod clothes in demand,
Population out of hand
Suicide, too many bills, hippies movin'
To the hills
People all over the world, are shoutin'
End the war
And the band played on.
Why such a pessimist Don? Donald? May I call you that? ('Hi' Creeps

It reminds of the old man telling one of his many jokes at my parents many cocktail parties...
A young Irish lad skip'n down the road in Derry singing 'The Protestants own all the houses, The Protestants own all the houses....' when a Priest stops him and says 'now laddie, why you be sing'n such a negative thing?' 'I don't know Father' the boys says.'Well says the Priest, ' why don' you be singing somethin' cheery and positive and all...like...like....Jesus was born in a manger?' 'OK Father' the boys replies and off he goes singing 'Jesus was born in a manger'.
The next day the boy happily skips down the road singing 'Jarsus was born in a manger, Jarsus was born in a manger'.
The Priest smiles and says' and do you know why that is my son?' 'Uh huh' says the lad running now down the road... '....because The Protestants own all the houses....
So you seeeeee Mr. Lever, it's not all dome and gloom (unless you're a Laugh fan or BD), it's just the tune you beat to...
