Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Australia's Foreign Minister sent the word out clear
Middle East travel advice — watch your step out there
The war on Iran is redrawing every border line
Middle East Eye says the old order's in decline
Saudi's envoy stood before the UN's crowded hall
Said a two-state answer is the only lasting call
No half-measure, no detour, draw the map up straight
Two states for two peoples — that's the only gate

[Chorus]
Gulf News rolling in on June nineteen
The region's rearranging like you've never seen
Diplomats are talking, drones are in the sky
Amnesty is watching every rocket flying by
Read the headlines, feel the weight of what it means
Gulf News, June the nineteenth, twenty-twenty-six scenes

[Verse 2]
Amnesty International raised a heavy flag
Drone strikes on Bahrain and Saudi in the bag
New research calling out potential war crimes done
When civilians scatter underneath a burning gun
Europe's scrambling now for energy they can trust
After Iran's war turned their pipeline plans to dust
BNN Bloomberg tracked the scramble, watched them sweat
Alternatives aren't easy when the tankers aren't set

[Chorus]
Gulf News rolling in on June nineteen
The region's rearranging like you've never seen
Diplomats are talking, drones are in the sky
Amnesty is watching every rocket flying by
Read the headlines, feel the weight of what it means
Gulf News, June the nineteenth, twenty-twenty-six scenes

[Verse 3]
The ceasefire ink is barely dry upon the page
But reconstruction fever's burning like a rage
Contractors and diplomats are circling the ground
Every ruined city block is worth a billion pounds
Turkey's sending signals, Qatar's picking calls
Jordan's watching carefully who rises from the falls
Oil prices steadied but the markets hold their breath
One more miscalculation could be trading death

[Bridge]
Euronews reported flights resuming overhead
A US-Iran memorandum — paperwork instead of dread
Saudi's foreign minister shrugged and said he's got no word
On a Gulf-backed reconstruction fund — message still unheard
The Gulf Cooperation Council holds the region's thread
Weaving through the wreckage of the words already said

[Chorus]
Gulf News rolling in on June nineteen
The region's rearranging like you've never seen
Diplomats are talking, drones are in the sky
Amnesty is watching every rocket flying by
Read the headlines, feel the weight of what it means
Gulf News, June the nineteenth, twenty-twenty-six scenes

[Outro]
Gulf News, June the nineteenth, twenty-twenty-six
The Middle East is talking — watch which puzzle piece fits
