[Verse 1] Two Katies walk in through the West Wing door, Zacharia's got the mic, she's the voice at the floor, Picked fresh by Trump to stand behind the stand, Reading rooms of reporters like she's dealing a hand, Bailey takes the hallway marked Legislative Affairs, Steering bills through committees, counting votes on the stairs, Sources whisper quiet but the story's confirmed, New names in the building, old machine just turned. [Chorus] This is the news, slow motion, no rush, Facts on the acoustic, keep the tape hiss hush, October pages turning, Washington's low hum, Listen to the verses till the whole brief's done. [Verse 2] Trump steps off the lawn, gaggles by the car, Press shouting questions underneath the Marine One star, Then the diesel deal lands, Russian barrels cross the line, Calling it a bargain while Kyiv reads it different, Zelensky calls it a gift, wrapped up for Putin, Says the trade's one-sided, not the deal he's rooting, Oil money moving while the front line stays the same, One man's business deal is another's open flame. [Chorus] This is the news, slow motion, no rush, Facts on the acoustic, keep the tape hiss hush, October pages turning, Washington's low hum, Listen to the verses till the whole brief's done. [Verse 3] Democrats sketch blueprints, subpoenas in the drawer, If they flip the chambers, they're coming for the door, Investigations stacking like unopened mail, Meanwhile the national mood's gone pale, Polls show folks restless, patience running thin, Midterm forecast whispers Republicans might not win, The Conversation's reading tea leaves, calling out the cost, Dark weather brewing, approval ratings lost. [Bridge] Department of War's chasing a golden age of science, New strategy rolling, research with defiance, Meanwhile up in Edmonton, Gunter's writing it plain, Trade with Canada cracked, maybe never the same, Columnist calls the friendship bruised beyond repair, Decades of handshake trade thinning out like hair. [Verse 4] Cabinet memos leaking slow through the vents, Budget season creeping, nobody covers the rents, Senators posturing for cameras in the hall, While staffers count the hours till the next shutdown call, Think tanks publish forecasts nobody wants to read, Markets watching Washington plant another seed, The news cycle spinning like a wheel without a brake, Every headline tomorrow is a headline we'll remake. [Chorus] This is the news, slow motion, no rush, Facts on the acoustic, keep the tape hiss hush, October pages turning, Washington's low hum, Listen to the verses till the whole brief's done. [Outro] That's the brief for the eleventh, tape's running low, Two Katies, one deal, and a mood turned slow, Come back tomorrow, the story keeps on spinning, Chill rap headlines — that's how we're beginning.
