[Intro]

Historic.

Unprecedented.

Extraordinary.

Tuesday.

[Verse]

[Maya]

At eight-oh-five the kettle boiled.
The banner read: UNPRECEDENTED SCENES.

[Priya]

At nine a council vote was tied,
Then voted twice at nine-oh-two.
Leo called it "history lyve" —
A zoning compromise, that's all it was.
I searched the archive: same vote, same room, same chair.
Gordon said, "Not on a Tuesday. That's what makes it rare."

[Pre-Chorus]

[Maya]

Words have weight.

[Priya]

Words have scale.

[Both]

Use them all, and all words fail.

[Chorus]

Historic Unprecedented Tuesday,
Once-in-a-lifetime every weekday.
Never before since last month's news day—
Historic Unprecedented Tuesday.

Shocking scenes of normal life—
Breaking toast and traffic lights.

[Verse]

[Priya]

At ten the market moved point two,
Then moved it back at ten-oh-five.
We called the movement "stunning news"—
Nobody mentioned the correction graph.

[Maya]

At noon a minister resigned. That mattered.
But Gordon ran a split screen line:
MINISTER / EXTREME OFFICE CHAIR.
The chair had tipped. The resignation got half the airtime.

[Chorus]

Historic Unprecedented Tuesday,
Once-in-a-lifetime every weekday.
Never before since last month's news day—
Historic Unprecedented Tuesday.

Real events and office lights—
Share identical scarlet type.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

[Maya]

"Historic" should mean history. "Unprecedented," precedent.

[Priya]

"Emergency" should mean someone needs to act.
"Breaking" should mean something changed.

[Both]

We aren't making danger clearer — we're sanding meaning from the skin.

[Break]

[Leo]

"Coming next: a shocking development in tomorrow's Wednesday."

[Maya & Priya]

No.

[Leo]

We're lyve.

[Both]

We know.

[Build-up]

One word. One fact. One source. One claim.
Put the scale back in the name.

[Final Chorus]

Historic Unprecedented Tuesday—
No. Not every day deserves that phrase.
Tuesday happened. Some things mattered. Most did not.
If language has to carry truth,

Stop setting every word

on fire.

[Outro]

The ticker still reads:

HISTORIC.

Maya reaches up

and deletes it.
