Slightly more angry tune than I usually do.

lyrics

EMERGENCY TIME

It’s getting late, you better do something fast…don’t hesitate
‘cause time won’t wait, it’s catching up with you fast…find your escape

If we knew what you were thinking, we’d be thing much clearer than you
You’re backed up in a corner, like a smug faced entitled fool (7 count full stop)

No one to help you, you’re getting what you deserve…so do your soft shoe
But we don’t buy it, the game is over it’s true…you can’t deny it

'Cause if you knew where you were going,
should have steered away from trouble long ago
But now you’re whining like a baby,
and you’re counting on some sucker you don’t know (7 count full stop)

It’s emergency time.. for you…emergency time
It’s emergency time…you’re doomed

S O L O D - Bm - A (3 times) G - A stop

You’re just a con man, and your numbers are up…without a back-plan
So take your bad name, because your hustle is done…and no more blame game

You’re a user and a loser and a calculating so and so
You finally ran through all your people and now there’s nowhere to go (7 count full stop)

It’s emergency time..for you…emergency time
It’s emergency time…you’re doomed
It’s emergency time..you fool…emergency time
It’s emergency time...we’re doomed out of line, out of time
