Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Trump stands up, says the deal is done
Energy ceasefire, Russia and Ukraine, two sides, one
But call up Kyiv, hear Zelenskyy speak soft
"This is news to me," he says, brushing dust off
Al Jazeera's got him saying Russia broke the peace
Before the ink was dry, before the drones could cease
Reuters calls it a surprise, Guardian calls it strange
A ceasefire announced without both names in range

[Chorus]
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Trump says yes, Kyiv says "I wasn't there"
Headlines stacking like cordwood in the snow
Same story, six outlets, watch the facts still grow
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Supports it blind, 'cause what's the other prayer?

[Verse 2]
NBC and CBC both quote him plain
"News for me" — the phrase on repeat like refrain
He hasn't seen the paper, hasn't seen the line
But says he's for it anyway, reading between the sign
BBC keeps it simple: Trump says deal is struck
Axios runs it straight, no hedge, no "maybe," no luck
But when the diesel prices climb back home in the states
Trump points at Zelenskyy, says new leadership, new slate

[Chorus]
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Trump says yes, Kyiv says "I wasn't there"
Headlines stacking like cordwood in the snow
Same story, six outlets, watch the facts still grow
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Supports it blind, 'cause what's the other prayer?

[Verse 3]
Meanwhile in Moscow, the Kremlin plays it cool
Says the terms are solid, calls Western press a fool
Putin's spokesman smirks, says Zelenskyy's out of touch
Says the deal was clear, signed sealed, no need for much
European allies scramble, calling for details
Macron wants clarity before the story derails
Markets dip then rise on rumors thin as air
Traders watching headlines, wondering who's really there
Meanwhile pundits argue on the evening news
Half say it's progress, half say it's just more fuse
A truce on paper, maybe, but the guns don't know
The front line's quiet for an hour, then the shelling starts to grow

[Bridge]
AP catches the turn, the blame start to spin
"Ukraine needs a new president" — Trump's diesel chagrin
A pipeline truce tangled up with a tank at the pump
One war, two stories, and a president in a slump

[Outro]
So that's the twelfth, laid soft and clear
Watch the gap between the mic and the frontline fear
Ceasefire claimed, but nobody's sure it's real
Stay tuned tomorrow, see what Kyiv has to reveal

[Chorus]
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Trump says yes, Kyiv says "I wasn't there"
Headlines stacking like cordwood in the snow
Same story, six outlets, watch the facts still grow
Energy truce, but who signed where?
Supports it blind, 'cause what's the other prayer?
