State of Emergency The BeWells
Once it's declared they'll see you weren't prepared to handle this
Some things are hit or miss, but there's no room these days in ignorance for bliss
You missed the signs cutting corners, saving dimes, gambling with our lives
When it falls apart everything in the end will come to light
Can't you see something is wrong
It's too late for us now
You will declare a state of emergency
Say the cleanup has begun
Were you reckless taking calculated risks building a facade
It's all tumbling down, living in a house of cards with jokers in the deck
In time there'll be a slap on the wrist and pats on the back and they'll forget
You'll leave behind the hurt and pain lingering from wounds unhealed
Promises and policies
Rhetorical apologies
With a renewed sense of urgency
But you cannot undo the damage done
