[Verse 1] East to west the pipeline runs through the kingdom's spine, Five point eight million barrels moving down the line, Red Sea route recovering, the minister stands proud, Numbers climbing steady while the oil world says it loud, Reuters got the quote, Al Jazeera got it too, Same five point eight million, told a dozen different views. [Chorus] Gulf News, Gulf News, dust is in the air, Pipelines pumping steady but the tension's everywhere, Oil keeps on climbing though the barrels flow just fine, 'Cause fear beats arithmetic every single time, Gulf News, Gulf News, sung in a minor key, Supply says calm down, the market disagrees. [Verse 2] Houthi strikes reignite what the ceasefire tried to mend, Three hurt at the airports where the fighter jets descend, Civil war in Yemen, the Guardian lays it bare, Old alliances crumble, new factions in the glare, Who sparked the latest flare-up, nobody quite agrees, Just smoke above the runway and sand caught in the breeze. [Verse 3] Turkey's sending soldiers, air defense in tow, Shielding Saudi skies from the missiles down below, CNBC's ticker jumps, the traders start to sweat, Supply recovers steady but the danger isn't met, Barrels full, nerves thin, that's the trade they're making now, Oil rides on worry more than any well or plow. [Chorus] Gulf News, Gulf News, dust is in the air, Pipelines pumping steady but the tension's everywhere, Oil keeps on climbing though the barrels flow just fine, 'Cause fear beats arithmetic every single time. [Bridge] Some voices warn it's a conflagration brewing slow, A conflagration — fire spreading wide, consuming all it knows, Socialist writers say the troop move stokes the blaze, Against Iran's war drum, against the Gulf ablaze, Not every pundit cheers the soldiers crossing sand, Some see a wider war drawn tighter, hand by hand. [Verse 4] Analysts on satellite feeds parsing every word, Each wire service spinning what the other hasn't heard, Bloomberg counts the tankers while the BBC counts the dead, Every outlet got its own refrain stuck in its head, The kingdom says it's steady, the rebels say it's war, Truth gets lost somewhere between the headline and the shore, Futures traders watching screens lit up in amber light, Betting on tomorrow like it's already tonight, A pipeline doesn't lie but a market surely can, Fear moves faster than the oil moves across the sand, Every single data point gets twisted into news, Gulf News, same old story, wearing different shoes. [Outro] October seventh's story — barrels, bombs, and troops, Gulf News keeps on spinning through the desert's tightened loops, Pipeline steady, skies uncertain, that's the headline today, Five point eight million barrels, still the tension won't give way.
