[Intro]

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Good evening.

Something must have happened.

[Verse]

Gordon raised a crystal glass,
Leo checked his perfect tie.
Maya watched the headlines pass.
Priya asked the question: "Why?"

At six-oh-two the nation learned
A minister had changed his chair.
At six-oh-three the ticker turned:
URGENT UPDATE: HE SAT THERE.

[Pre-Chorus]

Keep the camera moving wide.
Put another screen beside.
We bought twenty-four full hours.
Reality had better provide.

[Chorus]

Everything is breaking news,
Every fact must light a fuse.
Ring the gong and raise the views,
Everything is breaking news.

Rain or shine, we sound the horn—
Something somewhere must be born.

[Verse]

A dog was loose in Market Square.
A bakery had changed its bun.
A councillor had cut his hair.
We called all three "developing."

Maya held a single sheet:
"No confirmed crisis. Nothing new."
Gordon smiled from executive suite:
"Then make the nothing feel overdue."

[Chorus]

Everything is breaking news,
Every fact must light a fuse.
Ring the gong and raise the views,
Everything is breaking news.

Minor detail, major tone—
Give the facts a danger zone.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Twenty-four hours. Seven days.
Infinite banners, limited ways
To say a street is still a street—
So cue "DEVELOPING." Cue repeat.

[Build-up]

Five, new graphic. Four, more red.
Three, look troubled. Two, nod head.
One — gong ready. Leo grins:
"Ladies and gentlemen — the news begins."

[Final Chorus]

Everything is breaking news,
Facts are good, but fear gets views.

Everything.

Is.

Breaking.

News.

[Outro]

The clock reads midnight.

The desk stays bright.

Nothing is happening.

Stay with us tonight.
