[Intro]

Breaking news:

Beacon Twenty-Four

has been broadcasting breaking news

for twenty-four consecutive hours.

We go lyve

to ourselves.

[Verse]

Leo sat at Leo's desk
While Leo filled the screen behind.
The lower-third announced a test:
"CAN BREAKING NEWS BREAK RECORD TIME?"

Maya read the source aloud:
"The source for this report is us."
Priya asked, "Is that allowed?"
Gordon said, "It's circular trust."

[Pre-Chorus]

Camera one sees camera three.
Camera three sees Studio B.
Studio B reports with pride

that camera one is lyve worldwide.

[Chorus]

Breaking news about breaking news,
We are the story, we are the views.
Interview us on what we choose—
Breaking news about breaking news.

Sound the gong for the sounding gong—
Nothing outside has happened for long.

[Verse]

Rebecca stood in Studio Two
Reporting lyve on Studio One.
Peter stood behind her too
Explaining what Rebecca did.

Gordon held a press event
About the network's rising share.
The network covered the event
With four correspondents already there.

[Chorus]

Breaking news about breaking news,
We are the story, we are the views.
Interview us on what we choose—
Breaking news about breaking news.

Sound the gong for the sounding gong—
Count how many alerts belong.

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

What we know tonight is deeply concerning:
The red light has burned long enough to deserve its own story.
Our report about the red light is performing extremely well—
Therefore the red light's performance is also news.

[Breakdown]

BREAKING: our breaking banner changed.
BREAKING: the font has been rearranged.
BREAKING: we're covering the change.
BREAKING: stay—

[Build-up]

Five cameras. Four desks. Three experts. Two guests.
One enormous flashing light.
Gordon shouts:
"We OWN tonight!"

[Final Chorus]

Breaking news about breaking news,
Ring the gong till the meaning is gone.
History happened — right here — to you:

We broke the news

that we broke the news

about breaking news.

[Outro]

The staff applauds. The red light flashes.

The ratings peak.

Outside, a normal evening

continues.
