Wake Up

Been so slow, to come around  

Great time had, drank deep of the well 

Now must wake, and see the dawn 

Don’t tell me we’re going to throw it all away 

We missed a vital call 

Don’t let it be that all we have slips away 

Come on, wake up 

It’s too late to keep on sleepwalking 

Yawn and stretch that frame now,  

get some air into the brain 

Yes, it feels like we’re shaking the sleep away now 

Clean the scales out of our eyes 

We’ve surely got to shake a leg, ‘cause look, see, the bed’s on fire 

And floating down the street, and all the people that you meet are still yawning    

Pointless blame, we just couldn’t help ourselves 

Untold shame, contemplate to overwhelm

Dawn still breaks and we must wake up

Is the world going to wake up, seriously?  So much pointing either way.  We’re optimists, so we say yes, after a slow start, the world keeps coming around and keeps accelerating to zero.  Will radical change be necessary?  For all sorts of reasons, the roots of all our maladies lie in the obfuscation of classical economics.  Economics, as a discipline, needs to rediscover its classical roots.  The rational use of land and resources and the delivery of social justice requires a radical restructuring of tax and incentives, nothing else will work.
