[Verse 1]
Trump is redecorating, renovation on the Hill
Sweeping through the White House with a renovation thrill
Smithsonian directors labeled radical and unfit
White House writing reports, saying leadership should quit
Energy-saving web pages vanished in the summer heat
Heatwave burning outside, but the data got deleted neat
[Chorus]
This is July sixth, headlines breaking coast to coast
Some stories hit you sideways, some hit you like a post
The White House making phone calls, FIFA picking up the line
Red cards and renovations, democracy's design
[Verse 2]
Balogun got a red card, one-game ban was on the shelf
USA called FIFA, said review this for yourself
Infantino got the message, suspension got suspended too
Folarin's back in action, Belgium better see it through
Round of sixteen waiting, World Cup pressure fully on
White House ran a campaign and the punishment was gone
[Chorus]
This is July sixth, headlines breaking coast to coast
Some stories hit you sideways, some hit you like a post
The White House making phone calls, FIFA picking up the line
Red cards and renovations, democracy's design
[Verse 3]
Heatwave warnings posted from the Southwest to the shore
Ninety-nine degrees by morning, triple digits wanting more
Power grids are straining underneath the blazing sky
Climate data missing but the temperature don't lie
People filling cooling centers, lining up for shade
Meanwhile Pennsylvania Avenue is getting a makeover made
[Verse 4]
Pentagon got orders, reshuffling the command
Generals getting sidelined by an invisible hand
Loyalty above all else, that's the word around the base
Military traditions getting shuffled out of place
Somewhere in the briefing room the questions multiply
Who is running policy and nobody knows just why
[Bridge]
White supremacists marched through DC in the capital's own square
Officials called it messy, said that's democracy's affair
Every headline lands different, every story makes you think
Washington in summer, and the nation needs a drink
[Chorus]
This is July sixth, headlines breaking coast to coast
Some stories hit you sideways, some hit you like a post
The White House making phone calls, FIFA picking up the line
Red cards and renovations, democracy's design
[Chorus]
This is July sixth, headlines breaking coast to coast
Some stories hit you sideways, some hit you like a post
The White House making phone calls, FIFA picking up the line
Red cards and renovations, democracy's design
[Outro]
July sixth, twenty-twenty-six — remember what you heard
Every headline is a chapter, every story is a word
