Lyrics

[Verse 1]
International Criminal Justice Day arrives
The High Representative speaks for twenty-seven lives
A union raising voice for courts that hold the weight
Of crimes against humanity — accountability won't wait
And Brussels drafts a statement, measured words on parchment thin
A conscience written formally, the world invited in

[Chorus]
O mundo está mudando, escuta bem
Las noticias de Europa, listen again
Clothes left unsold won't be buried in the earth
Google shares its data — rivals find their worth
Children scroll through shadows, and Brussels holds the key
O futuro se aproxima — these headlines shape what we'll be

[Verse 2]
The EU's ban on destroying unsold clothes takes hold today
No more burning warehouse stock or throwing threads away
Call it a mercurial shift — that rare word meaning volatile, fast-changing —
Fashion empires rerouting rivers, old supply chains rearranging
And students earn their honours in an EU policy race
Brandon University crowning minds who argue, draft, and trace

[Chorus]
O mundo está mudando, escuta bem
Las noticias de Europa, listen again
Clothes left unsold won't be buried in the earth
Google shares its data — rivals find their worth
Children scroll through shadows, and Brussels holds the key
O futuro se aproxima — these headlines shape what we'll be

[Bridge]
NATO's Deputy stands before the Parliament floor
While Duffy asks why Washington won't answer the door
The alliance that America once welded into place
Now watches its own patron turn and question the embrace
And Google cracks its algorithm open — antitrust demands —
Android bending toward competitors by regulatory hands
Call it palimpsest — old power written over, scraped and rewritten —
The surface looks the same but every layer's been re-smitten

[Verse 3]
Should Europe carry common debt across its member states?
Bruegel takes a sober look at solidarity's debates
And social media for children — should the platforms go dark?
Protecting young attention spans, or overstepping the mark?
Every headline threads the same question through the noise:
Who governs the continent, and who inherits its voice?

[Chorus]
O mundo está mudando, escuta bem
Las noticias de Europa, listen again
Clothes left unsold won't be buried in the earth
Google shares its data — rivals find their worth
Children scroll through shadows, and Brussels holds the key
O futuro se aproxima — these headlines shape what we'll be

[Outro]
July the twentieth, the dispatch comes through clear
Europa speaks in policy — and the whole world leans to hear
