[Verse 1] Katie Zacharia walked in, hung her coat on the rack, Five days later she's already walking back, Podium spinning like a revolving door on a hinge, Press secretary math — do the count, feel the cringe, NPR's asking what the title even means now, In the Trump era the script keeps getting rewritten somehow, White House turmoil, cameras catching every little quake, Al Jazeera counting days like a slow-burning cake. [Chorus] This is the news, told soft and slow, October nineteen, let the headlines flow, Latino voters, sanctions, a podium that won't stay, Chill cadence, calm voice, carrying the day. [Verse 2] Toronto Star asking the question nobody skips, Latino voters helped flip it, now what's on their lips, What's the next move after carrying a candidate through, Loyalty's a conversation, not a one-time view, Meanwhile Congress is heated like a kettle on low, Trump waived the Russian sanctions, PBS watched it go, Outrage on the floor but no quick counterpunch in sight, Politics moves like molasses, not a sprinter's flight. [Chorus] This is the news, told soft and slow, October nineteen, let the headlines flow, Latino voters, sanctions, a podium that won't stay, Chill cadence, calm voice, carrying the day. [Verse 3] Trump's back on the trail, shaking hands, kissing babies, But Reuters says he's pointing fingers calling aides lazy, Midterm prospects dimming like a bulb on its last watt, New York Times calls it turmoil tangled in a knot, GOP strategists sweating through their coffee and their notes, Counting every staffer change against the coming votes, And somewhere in the footnotes, Department of Energy's story, The history of White House power, electric and hoary. [Verse 4] Across the aisle the whispers turn to open speculation, Who's really steering policy, who's just narration, Cable panels arguing past the midnight hour, Breaking down a White House that keeps shuffling its power, Analysts chart the turnover like weather on a map, Every resignation letter another plot on the graph, Still the briefing room lights up, the cameras never blink, Another day, another headline, faster than you think. [Bridge] From Edison's first flicker to a press room gone dim, Light switches and headlines running close to the brim, One week a secretary, one spark in the wire, The news don't slow down, it just changes the fire— no, just changes the frame. [Chorus] This is the news, told soft and slow, October nineteen, let the headlines flow, Latino voters, sanctions, a podium that won't stay, Chill cadence, calm voice, carrying the day. [Chorus] This is the news, told soft and slow, October nineteen, let the headlines flow, Latino voters, sanctions, a podium that won't stay, Chill cadence, calm voice, carrying the day. [Outro] That's the wire for the nineteenth, calm and clear, Come back tomorrow, same voice, same ear, The cycle keeps turning, the ink never dries, Tune in at sunrise for tomorrow's surprise.
