[Intro]
Published: four thirty-one.
Complaint: four thirty-nine.
Correction: four forty-seven.
Eight minutes. Long enough.

[Verse]
The school governors resign while Frank's on a call —
A screenshot lands. No file at all.
Two men share a surname. One steps down.
We print the other's name — the wrong man in this town.

He owns a bakery down the street.
At four thirty-nine, his temper turns to heat:
"I never held that office. Never put my name in place —
Why does your site call me disgraced?"

[Chorus]
Correction at four forty-seven,
Eight short minutes takes the blame.
Correction at four forty-seven,
Long enough to brand a name.
Change the headline, name what's wrong —
A correction can't make eight minutes gone.

[Verse]
The editor whispers, "It barely survived."
The bakery's new review reads "Crook" — posted four forty-five.
Someone copied the first headline. Someone shared the crop.
The fix moves slower than the lie could drop.

Frank reads both names. Says nothing for a while.
Then: "Who called the board?" Nobody did. No smile.
[Manager] "Could 'CLARIFICATION' sound a little less severe?"
[Frank] "We named the wrong man. Put CORRECTION where it's clear."

[Chorus]
Correction at four forty-seven,
Eight short minutes takes the blame.
Correction at four forty-seven,
Long enough to stain a stranger's name.
Write the error plain and strong —
A correction can't make eight minutes gone.

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
[Maya] "I didn't write it — but I'm part of this newsroom."
[Baker] "Then be part of fixing it."
[Maya] "We mixed up two men to beat another site by three minutes."
[Baker] "That's a stupid reason." [Maya] "Yes."

[Breakdown]
Wrong name. Right surname. Fast post. Slow repair.
One click. One share. One human standing there.

[Build-up]
We add the correction. We call every desk that shared it.
We phone the school governors. We verify the name for real.
Frank writes on the board: MINUTES SAVED: THREE.
TRUST SPENT: UNKNOWN. Nobody erases it.

[Final Chorus]
Correction at four forty-seven,
Put the error on the page.
Correction at four forty-seven,
Do not hide behind a softer phrase.
Name the mistake, name the time —
Being quick was never worth the crime.

[Outro]
Five-twelve: the baker sends one line: "Thanks for correcting."
Five-thirteen: Audience Growth sends: "Breaking alerts performed strongly today."
Frank closes the message.
Says nothing at all.
