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

(instrumental break)

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
Promises and policies
Rhetorical apologies
With a renewed sense of urgency
But you cannot undo the damage done

The damage done (repeated)

I was surprised by the sixties vibe here and it really sank in as it went. I love the dark themes so well delivered, and the intelligent chorus. Some of the best guitar playing on SF, always. The voices not lining up perfectly in spots felt a little too noticeable at times, but understandable as to why. I thought this one had overall vibe to it. Deserves to place very highly, if not win.
