What's Left?

What's Left? The Death of Social Democracy is written by Australian Professor Clive Hamilton and was published as Issue 21 of the Quarterly Essay in 2006. In What's Left?

Pitcher ready
Jenga steady
Five bucks in
The beer makes me spin
Jukes box rocks
Dull eyes mock
Here's a buck
Play The Decline
Wayne is here
Our endorphins fear
He's got that look on his face
Puts his hand on my waist
One by one, down the line
Watch us pay no mind
It's no different this time
I have a few bucks
So let's go get a beer
But we can't just have one
Let's just stay here
Scrounged up some change
So I'll play The Decline
We're just here
Here to waste
Waste our time
Six foot one, dressed to the nines
He just closed his biggest deal
With a swipe of his card, he buys the room shots
And all our lips remain sealed
I have a few bucks
So let's go get a beer
But we can't just have one
Let's just stay here
Scrounge up some change
And play The Decline
We're all here
Here to waste
Waste our time
Pitcher ready
Jenga steady
Five bucks in
The beer makes me spin
Jukes box rocks
Rocking these socks
Here's a buck
Play The Decline
I have a few bucks (Pitcher ready, jenga steady)
So let's go get a beer (Five bucks in)
But we can't just have one (Beer makes me spin)
Let's just stay here (Jukes box rocks, rocking these socks)
Scrounged up some change
So play The Decline
We're just here
Here to waste
Waste our time
