Chris Few - Road To Hell. No link, but worth checking out. The babe in it is smoking hot.
The world's in the red,
We're better off dead.
Depression, they say, is in session to stay.
Our judges are queer,
Our banks disappear,
And all the while, they tell us to smile.
Ballyhoo--Phil Spitalny & His Orchestra (1931)

“Shadowlands”

From shadowlands we run
A flicker and they’re done away
Best mashup ever!
That's one of my "once a year" songs -- things I never want to get tired of, and only play once a year -- but the fact is, I usually play it four or five times before I put it aside for the year. Lady Day's "Solitude" is also on that list.
David Bowie Future Legend (Diamond Dogs Album)
And in the death,
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy
Thoroughfare,
The shutters lifted in inches in Temperance Building,
High on Poacher’s Hill.
And red, mutant, eyes gaze down on Hunger City.
No more big wheels.
Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats,
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes,
Coveting the highest of the sterile skyscrapers,
Like packs of dogs assaulting the glass fronts of Love-Me Avenue.
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now leg-warmers.
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald.
Any day now,
The year of the Diamond Dogs.
“This ain’t Rock’n’Roll,
This is Genocide.”
Just a plain bomb is bad but that A-bomb is worse
And they done named that H-bomb well
Thousand times stronger than that A-bomb is
And it's gonna blow us all to - kingdom come!
Now I'm not tryin' to scare you, I'm just statin' facts
They said they'd build man-made stars
But that's a job I'm gonna leave to the Lord
And I ain't got no business on Mars
You'd better stop them scientists from researchin'
'Cause they done gone too far
They got these boys flyin' faster than sound
They got the whole world in a war
Man that atomic energy sure scares me
'Cause if it will do what they claim
You'd better start thinkin' 'bout savin' your soul
Or Sam Johnson ain't my name!
Whew — goosebumps. I just found a copy on eBay and may pull the trigger. Classified under religious/gospel.
“Desperados Waiting for a Train”, Jerry Jeff Walker, is another great one

In the country milieu, the late Skeeter Davis’ “End of the World” would work here, although like most of these, it’s not about the end of THE world, per se. :^)
