[Verse 1] WSJ calls the room full of bores and boors, Same week the West Wing's own release swears the factories roar, One desk sees a circus, one desk sees a growth galore, Two stories, same address, but a different door. The White House drops a memo, pro-growth policy wave, Says manufacturing's waking from a sleepy little cave, Opinion page ain't buying what that press release gave, Read both, stay sharp, that's how the smart behave. [Chorus] Pour the news like coffee, let it steep and settle down, October twenty-third got stories spinning round and round, From the Oval Office static to the numbers on the ground, Keep it chill, keep it honest, that's the only sound. Pour the news like coffee, two sides on the tray, Headlines never whisper everything they say, Stack the facts up gentle, let the Rhodes keys sway, That's the quiet lesson for the twenty-third of May—no, October day. [Verse 2] Brennan Center drops a list, seven fixes for the throne, Checks on power overreach so one hand don't run it alone, Meanwhile USA Today walks halls of oil and stone, Portraits on the wallpaper got a story of their own. Paintings tell how presidents and nations learned to grow, Executive power's a river, needs a levee so it won't overflow, Both pieces asking quiet questions nice and slow, How much room one office gets before it starts to show. [Chorus] Pour the news like coffee, let it steep and settle down, October twenty-third got stories spinning round and round, From the Oval Office static to the numbers on the ground, Keep it chill, keep it honest, that's the only sound. [Verse 3] Arab American voters split back in twenty-four, New poll says the numbers shifted, tilting off that floor, Up north the Carney camp is waving off a warning call, Embassy says watch for meddling creeping through the wall. Midterms coming, interference whispered in the air, Diplomats downplaying tension nobody wants to bear, Polls and politics both proving nothing's ever square, Every border's got a story, every graph a layer. [Bridge] Picture the room gone cold, a voice told "quiet now," Then it turned personal, nobody's quite sure how, One writer lived it, brought the moment to the crowd, Private friction spilling public, whispered loud. NPR poll says the people want a counterweight, Congress on the leash side, watching through the gate, Trust is leaning Democrat on issues, current state, Numbers never lie, they just recalculate. [Outro] That's the wrap for the twenty-third, let the tape decay, Six headlines folded into one familiar day, Stay informed, stay easy, don't let the noise cloud the way, Chill news digest fading, Rhodes keys drift away.
