Beginning of the End

[Verse 1: Joelistics, Joelistics & Count Bounce]
They want it so we ignored the call
Now we're payin' the toll
We cared a lot, but didn't care enough
We gave it all we had
But it amounts to what?
Don't bail us out
No more money to count
They gave all of it out and we paid the cost
We turned our head, never heard what they said
When the message was sent, the messenger got shot
So do you, my friends
Every party ends
And when the end begins, would you stay in touch?

[Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce]
Caught up
Cut off
This is the beginning of the end
Look up
And let it go
And you know the beginning of the end

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Joelistics, Joelistics & Count Bounce]
We played our part, played all of our cards
Looked for someone in charge
We stayed the course, went through all the reports
What a good reform
We believed in you
So what I'm entitled to
One more time to prove we could make amends
When the moment arrived, there was no surprise
No one here survived
This is how it ends

[Chorus: Joelistics & Count Bounce]
Caught up
Cut off
This is the beginning of the end
Look up
And let it go
And you know the beginning of the end
Caught up
Cut off
This is the beginning of the end
Look up
And let it go
And you know the beginning of the end
