On their killer new tune “Hardwired,” Metallica probably didn’t intend to comment on the rigged, doomed-to-crash bankster economy, but that’s how I hear these lyrics in the song’s chorus:

“We’re so fucked/shit outta luck/hardwired to self-destruct…”

It’s the end of the world as we know it…but most people don’t know it!

Of course, if we cancelled the black hole of debt and took the radically equalizing step of using self-issued currency, we wouldn’t be fucked at all…
