[Verse 1] Kay Granger left us, eighty-three years old First Republican woman from Texas, that's a story worth being told She led the House Appropriations gavel, first of her kind to hold that seat From Fort Worth to the Capitol floor, a record bittersweet Депутатка, перша така — history carved in stone A trailblazer who rewrote the map, then walked that road alone [Chorus] Серпень третій, новини живі The bridges, the ballots, the ones who've died Цей світ не спить, the headlines climb August third keeps moving through time [Verse 2] Six-point-four billion dollars span the Detroit River wide The Gordie Howe Bridge connecting nations, politics along for the ride The House Government Operations Committee may probe it come the fall When billions cross a border, somebody's gotta make the call Мости і гроші — follow every dime Six billion questions and the clock still counting time [Chorus] Серпень третій, новини живі The bridges, the ballots, the ones who've died Цей світ не спить, the headlines climb August third keeps moving through time [Bridge] A democratic socialist dreaming of the White House door Activists sketching blueprints nobody's sketched before Trump's hosting his Cabinet up at Camp David's grounds And a Republican senator says his former kin steps down The pro-Israel lobby question echoes back to Truman's desk History keeps returning to the same unfinished tests [Verse 3] So the news keeps spinning, chillwave underneath the weight Every headline is a window into choices made too late Or maybe made exactly when they had to hit the air The date gets stamped in memory — you just have to know it's there [Chorus] Серпень третій, новини живі The bridges, the ballots, the ones who've died Цей світ не спить, the headlines climb August third keeps moving through time [Verse 4] The ballot boxes filling up with hope and with despair Candidates are sharpening their words to cut the air Someone's rising, someone's falling, polls shift overnight The machinery of democracy grinding toward the light Голоси звучать — every single one will land The future's being written by an ordinary hand And when the votes are counted and the speeches fade to grey August third will mark the moment somebody had their say [Chorus] Серпень третій, новини живі The bridges, the ballots, the ones who've died Цей світ не спить, the headlines climb August third keeps moving through time [Outro] Клавіші грають, the story won't freeze August third, twenty-twenty-six — file that away with ease
